Rising Harvest Moon

Copyright: Tamas Abraham Rising Harvest Full Moon over the Buda Mountains. Near the airplane the lookout tower made from larch with 23 m height can be found on the highest point of the mountains (559 m above sea level). The image was taken from my backyard with a 8-inch newtonian reflector and a Canon 400D camera.

I was going up to my roof to shoot the harvest moon from the clear sky in Baltimore before the thunderclouds rolled in. When I got up there, she was just perched where I was going to mount my camera to the railing. She posed for a couple minutes while I got the settings right.

Re: Recent Submissions
Here is an image I made of the harvest moon the day before yesterday. It was made in RGB and I used saturation and levels to highlight the color differences between different parts of the moon. Clearly the mares and young ejecta patterns can be recognized by their colors...
(19:30 UTC image updated with better colors...)
Harvest moon in highlighted color
Copyright: André van der Hoeven I also made a desktop version where the moon is passing the Pleiades cluster, it makes a nice background I think....

Re: Recent Submissions
Hello, I'd like to submit 3 of my Harvest Moon images for consideration. These were taken in Prague shortly after moonrise, just as the sun was going down to light up some of the city. Taken with a Canon 40D and both Pentacon 500mm and Pentacon 300mm lenses.

Tom Davis, that's a great vdB152 Region in Cepheus... and lo and behold, I think you captured planetary nebula PK 111.0+11.6, too!
Greg Parker and our own highly respected Noel Carboni, I love your M34 cluster! What a cluster of sapphires in a field strewn with slightly less precious stones!
Mike Killian and Kelley Cyr, those are amazing GRAIL launch images!
Jonathan Bohren, your Mantis Moon image just blew me away. It was like seeing this kind of image being posted in a recent submission thread! Do I like it? Oh, you bet! :jumping up and down smilie:
Jim Young, those are totally amazing rainbows!
Terry Hancock, that's another fantastic Orion Nebula image!
ki_cz, I just love your harvest Moon images over the lovely city of Prague. Particularly the picture where the Moon is being "eaten" by a cloud bank is irresistible!
Lóránd Fényes, welcome to Starship Asterisk* and thank you for your lovely blue Iris Nebula!
Efrain Morales, I'm a sucker for Jupiter images, and who can resist rotating Jupiter? Not me!
Thanks to everybody for your lovely images!

Re: Recent Submissions
Harvest Moon meets the Basilica of Superga
http://stefanoderosa.com/
Copyright: Stefano De Rosa The image shows the Harvest Moon next to the Basilca of Superga. Rising near the horizon, the Full Moon closest to autumnal equinox looked extremely large and the effect was accentuated by the distance at which the photo has been taken: some 17 kilometres from the Basilica. The church, built in 1731, sits on the highest hill around Turin (at 669 meters is visible from most of the city) and is one of the symbols of the city.
Best regards
Stefano

Re: Recent Submissions
Jerry, the full size image of your LDB 772 and LDN 778 nebulae is absolutely extremely beautiful. It is fantastically deep, and it reveals the "depth" and "texture" of the dust in this constellation in a way that is amazing.
Your image beautifully reveals the overall brownish color of the dust. The general color of the sky in this constellation is various shades of brownish, due to the dust. Many of the myriads of stars that can be seen in your image show a bluish tint, but many are orangish, and some that are seen to penetrate the dust are quite reddish in color.
Where the dust is very concentrated, it becomes black. But amazingly, out of the darkest blackness, stars are born. So some of the darkest patches of dust are lit up by young stars, which create blue reflection nebulae in the darkness, almost as if a small part of the Earth's blue sky had been transported into space in the constellation Vulpecula.
How extremely beautiful!
Ann
