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. 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.

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

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.

Well hope to see some pictures from all over the world of this blue moon.
