That's it. That is what I saw in New Mexico USA on or about 1/25/10, but the moon was about half full. A huge complete circle around a half-circle object.

Re: Does anyone else have a view of the moon and it's halo the last three nights?
Well I took my photo at around 4:30 am. I thought could get better detail but I overestimated my camera. lol. I dont use it much.
Anyways here is how I saw the moon this morning and last night. The brightest it will be all year...... Last edited by Firstlook; 01-30-2010 at 05:33 PM. |

Re: Does anyone else have a view of the moon and it's halo the last three nights?
I'm in the midwest and don't see any of the effects you guys are seeing.....On a cloudless night the other night ...nothing but a spectacular view of the craters on the moon
The clouds have no chembows.....I wonder what they are trying to enact or suppress out west?? |

Re: Does anyone else have a view of the moon and it's halo the last three nights?
ahh shame... yea it was overcast where I was too during the perigee so I couldn't get any pics either.
I guess Mars wanted a little cover during his tryst with Luna. Here are some pics I snapped about 10 minutes ago of our Lady though. She is out pretty good tonight. Mars is still close by but not nearly close enough to get them in the same shot. |

Re: Does anyone else have a view of the moon and it's halo the last three nights?
Thanks guys!
Stargazer, that was actually taken with a Camera, a Rebel XTi. I was a little surprised at the clarity myself once I uploaded them on the PC... I had a 70-300mm lense on, zoomed to the max of course. It made me want to get a telescope too. |

Phtha, looking at your pics of the moon... it begins to look like the glow of city lights or undersurface city's instead of reflections of the sun.

Yah Christo888 it almost does look like she has her own light source. Even if she is illuminated 100% by the Sun, I was always fascinated by the way she glows like she does. Well... she is spot on with the rest of the fairer sex... shrouded in mystery.

Re: Does anyone else have a view of the moon and it's halo the last three nights?
I took another one this morning. This time I did just a little better and also adjusted the brightness and contrast. I didnt mess with anything else like color or any other effects. Its still blury though. I'll work on getting a tri pod.
Peace |

Absolutely. Heres hoping for more to come.

I dont have the manual and it doesnt imply it on the actual camera. But from what I gather the shoot screen on is supposed to represent the actual view? IDK about this stuff yet. I'll do some googling and figure out how to take the best shots I can. Any advice? peace |

Re: Does anyone else have a view of the moon and it's halo the last three nights?
Hello I thought I would share my picture of the moon I took last night with my 8mp cannon camara. This is in Chicago after several nights of cloud cover finally we get to see the moon. It was taken around 10:00 pm central time zone.

Re: Does anyone else have a view of the moon and it's halo the last three nights?
Hi Firstlook, no the power shots are not SLR. I'm not familiar with the powershots, I have used one before... but can't remember if you can adjust the aperture or ISO settings. I'm pretty sure this is for SLR only.
If you can though... for taking shots of Luna, I find it best to set ISO to lowest possible (100 in my case) and then keep playing with the aperture settings until she looks quite dark in the resulting picture. That way her details come out the best as they are not hidden by her glow. And adjusting the levels after is a must, to bring out all her detials. Here are a few Lunapics taken last year while she was in full bloom: [/QUOTE] |
