Re: PESO: The Moon in Perigee
Thanks Godfrey. The closer to the horizon, the more interesting the atmospheric effects, but sharpness is lost. I just shot when I happened to notice that the moon was visible from my front yard, but I think I lucked out in getting some of the close to the horizon color but not a lot of atmospheric distortion.

Looking at the data it's about a 2.4 stop push, so about ISO 4000, and it' s a tight crop. I shot some at f8 that are more like ISO 1000, but I like this one better.

Re: Peso-Sutter Moon
Yes, the moon shot is a positive, therefore the overall blue tone is to some degree present. The shot of the vent plug is a B negative. Make sense?

Re: Peso-November Moon
Ok, I was concentrating on the geese in my search for green. Possibly the mix of some sky blue and the yellowish tainted darkening tone has produced a hint of green (ocher).

Peso-Sutter Moon
This is the shot I mentioned to Larry earlier that I would be posting. I shot the moon in the evening in color while in Tucson, AZ. When back in northern CA, I shot an evening B neg of the Sutter Buttes' prominent volcano plug. (Don't know if that is in fact true, but some locals call it that.) Many many photo shoppers have looked at this print and I don't recall anyone of them ever asking about the B/color. They may have in my absence, but?. C?

Re: PESO -- Cloudy Moon (was) Re: Total Lunar Eclipse
It's a much better image than the best view I was able to see. Looks kind of like Schiaparelli's Martian "canals". On 9/27/2015 11:44 PM, P.J. Alling wrote: I went out to try to shoot the Super Moon/Eclipse and I've given up on the photography at least. Not a total bust, but there seem to be high clouds obscuring any detail. I tried to use the SMC Pentax M*300mm f4.0, my copy of which is a bit sharper than the A*300 I also have was also a bust. coupled with the 1.7x AF adapter the camera thought the moon should be in focus but they all looked like the image I'm going to post just because I tried. It's not good, but I did make the attempt. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/1604247/PESO/PESO%20--%20superbloodmoon.html Equipment: Pentax K-5II w/vmc Vivitar Series 1 600mm Solid Catadioptric f8.0 and smc Pentax F 1.7x AF Adapter. Note: There was so little light the K-5II just simply refused to try to focus with the AF adapter and the Solid Cat lens mounted, I had to force it to focus to infinity with a different lens then mount the camera onto the Solid cat which was mounted on the tripod. Lest anyone thing this might be the reason for the bad focus, every shot with every lens combination whether manual or auto focused looked pretty much like the one posted, just smaller on the frame. I do kind of like it as an abstract, but I really wish that I had captured more detail. On 9/22/2015 3:18 PM, Daniel J. Matyola wrote: From an email I received this afternoon: Total Lunar Eclipse! On the evening of September 27th, skywatchers throughout North America will be treated to one of nature’s grandest celestial sky shows – a total eclipse of the Moon. And unlike the one in April which occurred in the early predawn hours, this one will happen during convenient evening ones. This cosmic spectacular begins with the full Moon entering the Earth’s dark inner shadow (the “umbra”) at 9:06 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time and continuing to become ever-more fully immersed in it for the next hour. Totality itself will start at 10:11 p.m. EDT and last more than an hour until 11:23 EDT, after which the Moon begins to slowly emerge from the cone of darkness in reverse order. Adding to the beauty of the overall scene at this eclipse (especially during totality itself, while the sky is dark), the Moon will be accompanied by some of the early rising bright winter stars. (Use your Scientifics’ Star and Planet Locator to identify them) There are several interesting things to notice as you watch this event unfold. Most obvious are the darkness of the eclipsed Moon and the range of colors displayed, both of which vary from one eclipse to another. These depend on the clarity of the Earth’s atmosphere at the time, which refracts or bends sunlight around into the umbral shadow. There have actually been eclipses so dark that the Moon remained all-but invisible during totality — and ones so pale that you had to look carefully to see that there was even an eclipse in progress! Among the colors that have been seen are shades of reddish-orange, brown, copper, rose, and even blood-red. Notice, too, that the Earth’s shadow is curved at all phases of the eclipse, as the Moon passes through it. This is direct proof that the Earth itself is round — something recognized by many early skywatchers. And finally, realize that you’re actually seeing our lovely satellite move eastward in its orbit — as it first passes into, through, and then out of the shadow at roughly its own diameter each hour. While lunar eclipses can certainly be enjoyed with the unaided eye alone (as they have been throughout most of history!), they are best-seen in binoculars. An ideal pair for this would be a 7×50 or 10×50 glass, the first number indicating its magnification and the second the aperture in millimeters. Telescopes themselves, with their relatively narrow fields of view, typically don’t provide enough sky coverage around the Moon to get the full effect of its globe being suspended in space. An exception here, however, is Scientifics’ amazing Astroscan wide-field reflecting telescope. Providing a 3-degree actual field of view at it low magnification of 16x, it takes in an astounding six full-Moon-diameters of sky — something many have described as looking through the porthole of a spaceship! —James Mullaney Former assistant editor at Sky & Telescope magazine and author of 10 books on stargazing.
