Post yer moon photos here

Not great, but still the best moon shot I've done in the dark of night.


On the way to dawn.


And that's all she wrote.


Didn't have any trouble staying up for this phenomenon. The wind machines started at 9:00 PM and went right through to 7:00 AM. I was standing outside when a third kicked in at 3:15 AM and I thought I was in the middle of a runway. I think I'm going to nap a lot today.

Nikon D7000, Nikon 70-200/2.8, and a pair of 2x teleconverters stacked. Major Nikon Apr 2015 #12
You certainly seem to have made that work for you Fumesucker Apr 2015 #13
The second converter makes a lot of difference. Blue_In_AK Apr 2015 #14

I'm on the East coast so no eclipse for me, got clouded out anyway so I'm kind of glad it wasn't visible from here or I'd have been frustrated.

I was using a 70-200 with one 2X teleconverter on my full-frame 1ds Mark III. It was pretty sharp, but I had to crop a fair amount. Is the D7000 full frame?

I don't normally recommend trying to stack 2 teleconverters with any lens, but in this case it worked.

At least it was gone early, so that is a good thing. That means that it is spring, even if it doesn't feel like it yet. Soon.

When I was shooting, my eye didn't pick up the red tint, but the camera did. I was surprised when I saw the image on the screen.
