Blue Moon part 1

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

Tonight is the first of the two full moons we get in March this year. Astronomers count it if it is still visible past 12 and it will be, so here is the full moon that rose when it was Feb but will set when March. I am hoping the weather is clear for the next one on at the end of March to complete the set. Second one has the saturation bumped up to show the different mineralisation that occurs on the moon. Taken with the 400 and a 1.4x on it.

You should change your moniker to Astroboy, or maybe Dr Oliphaunt :wink: :wink:

Great photos as usual. The Bumped one is really interesting. I had no idea.

Don't forget the 80A filter next time :lol:

Why thank you. If you are in town this weekend we could go to the observatory Sunday night and you can have a go at it.

Oh wow.. they are great.. :)

I must admit to a little jealousy though as much to my disgust I have never managed to get even one semi decent shot of the moon.. :twisted:
The last thing I want to do is hurt you... but it's still on the list... ;)
