So, we’ve had an awesome lunar eclipse recently, right? Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelllllll…..

Guess what, I didn’t get to see it. We’ve had beautiful 99% clear skies for almost 2 weeks straight, all to get hit by half a week of storms starting on the 27th. So I did not get to see it, and neither do I have any photos to show.

So instead here’s an older photo, from July 23rd:

Even with my manual focus lens and shaky tripod the moon is super easy to focus on by eye, so i often use it to “calibrate” my setup before trying to get a picture of Saturn, etc.
The colours are not as awesome as during an eclipse, but still. 😀
