Nice. Just need to rotate it down a bit on the right to satisfy my OCD.

Ah! now you say that... this is why I am freaking out about it... I stood under it and thought I took it square... BUT...

I didnt see at the time but the light is wonky in the centre... so if I square the diagonals up, the light is squinty... and that does my nut in more than the wonky diagonals...

So, OCD trigger.... assume that is a reaction to my art... because I cant fix it :cool:

2.10.17 is a Full Snow Moon. Also, there was to be an eclipse and a comet visible. Didn't see either of those two events.

This is my second ever attempt to photograph the Moon.

Camera? Lens? Settings?

Beyond the limits of my present camera, a Fujifilm X20, to produce such a sharp image of the moon, but would like to get something more capable sometime.

I attached my camera to my 8" Newtonian reflector at prime focus for shots of the moon. Full Moons don't show much in the way of the lunar surface unfortunately, so wait for it to go through the phases.

Some Urban Decay for you. Taken in Patna Ayrshire, Scotland. There is a derelict train depot there. I only got 30 mins to run round before being chased but it is well worth a visit.

Really weird, as I grew up close to that area. It's seriously run down now but is a photographic treasure trove. It used to be a bustling tourist attraction until the funding dried up. Lots of history left to decay. I went down around 2005/2006 I think and got a lot of interesting stuff. I may post some in the future.

Look up "Danny MacAskill Industrial Revolutions" on Youtube. It was a video made for his trial biking stunts in the old depot.
