RE: My eclipse experience - Lunar Eclipse - 18 Sep 2024 - Imprinted by LightCaptured

I have no words for these stunning pictures. The shadowed part looks like a big black blob on moon.

The damn clouds...

It's usually clear here but I hate it when they ruin my stargazing activities which don't happen often.

Yes, real pity for me but I guess, that's what was supposed to happen, totally out of my control, maybe I could've travel somewhere far South the previous day just to be on the safe side. I love the take photos of the Milky Way before but sooner or later it turns out the only difference is the foreground detail I select or put in the photo, composing the frame :) I chose to comfort of our own backyard and got punished for that in a way, LOLOL :)

Lately, I see lots of satellites too, and that also ruins my astro-photo fun.

The big comet should be visible on the night sky soon, this month, so that will probably make me stay late, or wake up very early to try to photograph it.

Thank you :)

Haha. I don't have a professional camera but I do have a basic telescope which I also always want to use from the comfort of my home.

Do you have photos of satellites? I would like to see.

What are the tentative dates for the big comet? I will try to look.

I don't have photos of satellites, shooting quickly moving objects in the night sky is almost impossible with the current cameras and lenses that are affordable to an ordinary guy as myself. ;)

I think it is these days the visibility is shifting from the Southern to the Northern hemisphere. The comet is all in the news.

The scientists say it should be visible with a naked eye starting today but you better search for yourself and your location, this is the query string I use:

"Comet C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan-ATLAS)"

I hope you manage to see it, I saw and took few crappy photos of a comet a few years ago and it was still an awesome feeling ;)
