Happy new year! Moon, Orion and fireworks

Image
Happy new year! At midnight, when I went outside, I took my camera and tripod with me. 98% Moon was glowing on the sky. Just when fireworks went off, there was huge hole in the clouds that was revealing Orion. I took 5 seconds exposure photo amd got that effect! That was the picture I wanted to get that night :) Location: 51.81N  19.31E ISO: 800 Exposure: 5 seconds

Moon 29.12.2017 (sharp)

Even clouds couldn't stop me! When I was walking my dogs, I noticed some cracks in the clouds and Moon getting thru them! I went straight way home and got the telescope into the garden. It turned out that it was worth it! Next time there will be clouds, I would pay more attention if Moon is trying to get thru. The main problem was timing, I had to switch exposure time very fast and often keeping in mind 2 seconds of timer (I set it so telescope does not shake after clicking the trigger). In fact, I think I took one of my sharpest Moon pictures for now! It was a bit overexposured in one place but I fixed it with Deep Sky Stacker :)          ISO: 400    Location: Warsaw phase: Waxing Gibbous 84% Close up view on south pole. I also tried to catch eartshine besides big phase, no luck there unfortunatelly :/
