Hunting The Hunter’s Moon

At dusk looking south with Venus overhead.

Jupiter only had two moons tonight. The bazooka is such a blast as it got a tiny Saturn with its rings.

Moon tunnel. Moon glow through the trees.

  1. This evening we were driving to the store and the moon was low and huge! Orange too. I was in the store about 10 minutes and when I came out the moon was smaller and way up in the sky. I don’t know how it changed so quickly!

  2. How you managed to capture the ring of Saturn with such clarity is beyond me. Such unbelievable pictures! They’re all so glorious, the Moon is stunning! 🤩

    • Jupiter’s moons are also so clear! I wouldn’t have known if I’d seen them in the sky. The shot of the Moon behind the tree is ethereal- looks straight out of a storybook!

      • The number of Jupiter’s moons that the camera can see changes from night to night. The other night 4 moons were showing. I try and do photos that look a little different. I was really happy with the moon tunnel shot.

      • You have to be very happy with all your shots everyday then! 😀
        I get really happy when I click good pics. I’m an excellent photographer… if screenshots count as photographs 😉🙈
        So you have something to feel happy about everyday 😀

      • Photography makes me happy. Otherwise I wouldn’t do it. I’m sure you are a wonderful photographer when you do it.

      • The only kind of photography I’m good at is screenshots, like I said before. 😅 Ofcourse, you are such a professional and it must a cathartic experience.

    • Thanks, Sam. I’ve been trying different settings at different times of night on Saturn. I got a decent combo tonight.

    • No! Not at all. And I’m surprised I get them with a 400mm lens. Saturn is particularly difficult because it is small and doesn’t shine as brightly as Jupiter and Venus. Thanks, Roberta.

      • No doubt. It was so funny how clear the moon was for the maybe two minutes? I was able to capture a few clicks… Nothing worth going nuts about 🙂

      • No rain… just clouds. Still, I did manage to get a few 😉 The cell phone ones were shared on IG, the camera ones, I looked at and might just share one, as well 🙂
