Keeping the thread going while I wait for my 1.4 converter.

Two pics of this evenings moon. One with 400mm and the other with 400 plus 2x converter.

Nice sharp pics Don.

I too saw the moon last night but it was softened by poor visibility, hoping for clear skies.

I have to sneak them in when I can as I'll never compete with the razor blade sharpness of your 300 and tc. :p :) Still it provides me with a challenge. ;)

Hoping for great things from the Kenco 1.4 when I get it. TC 201 only really works fairly well on near subjects with the 400.

Jonathans link has also got me going.

Saturn is very close to the moon and I have just managed to get a shot.

Excellent stuff. Earlier in the evening the Moon passes right across Saturn.

Dave

Well done Christine. I only managed 4 frames in between the clouds, one posted in the Astro thread.

Don

Thanks Dave, Don you have the best photo, its really close to the moon.

Clouds drove me mad as after the posted shot I thought I would add the 2x Nikon converter to the new Kenko's ( a touch of Sassan here ) to give a focal length of 2240mm. But by the time the clouds had moved, so had Saturn, so I could not get them both in shot. :(

Full moon tomorrow and another on the 30th. Stevie has just advised that that will be a ' blue moon ' . Not literally, but apparently two full moons in one month is rare enough to generate the expression - Once In A Blue Moon.

Don

Don you gave it for free. I was going to ask a queeze as to what a blue moon means.
Well hope to see some pictures from all over the world of this blue moon.
