I took a pic with my box brownie but i have to wait for the slides to be developed. A great sight with the naked eye!

Bobby to get a sharper photo of the moon you need a faster shutter speed. The moon is actually moving fast and with 300mm you should be using about 1/125 @ f8

You could on a telescope but not a telephoto lens.
I could only get a pic with 1 second exposures when the Moon
was eclipsed by the Earth - it's much dimmer.
For the fist pic above with the Moon not in shadow
I was using 1/1000 th of a second.

What iso?

ISO 400

There ya go, better off with higher ISO then using a noise filter.

My mobile phone camera obviously is not pixelated enough to take good photos. But I did watch for 30 minutes whilst the moon eclipsed.

In other news, I wonder if people have to reluctantly fulfill some promises hastily made for this day?

I doubt that a mobile phone camera would be any good for a shot like that.

Yeah... no schitt. Like I just told you. Only found out the quality after I took the photo. The camera is only good for up close photographs.

Is it not more concerned with taking photos of deep space?

The Hubble can take close up pics of the Moon.

That would be as much overkill as swatting a fly by firing a bazooka at the insect.

The Hubble Space telescope isn't designed to view very bright tiny objects. It's designed to view larger very faint objects.

However NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter which went into orbit around the moon in 2009 has taken photos of Apollo landing sites.

The new views from the spacecraft's narrow angle camera are only the third time that close-up pictures of the landing sites have been snapped and resolved by the unmanned spacecraft around the moon.

In one image of the Apollo 17 landing site, the last tracks left by astronauts Eugene Cernan and Harrison Schmitt on the moon are visible. The crisscrossing footprints can be easily distinguished from the tracks left by the astronauts' lunar rover.

I know that Mechanic and Ajax won't believe this as they think it was a hoax but surly there can't be a whole new generation of scientists perpetuating the moon landing "hoax" Grin

Hi Mechanic - but no total eclipse for anyone.

https://www.space.com/33784-solar-eclipse-guide.html

Only partial eclipses will occur in 2018. The first solar eclipse of 2018 will take place on Feb. 15; it will be visible only from parts of Antarctica, the Atlantic Ocean and southern South America. The second partial eclipse of 2018 will take place on July 13 and will be visible primarily over the ocean between Australia and Antarctica. The third solar eclipse of the year will take place on Aug. 11 and will swing over the North Pole. It will be visible from northern Europe, northern Asia and parts of eastern Asia.
