Finally got another attempt to take a shot of the Moon.
I've waited quite a while for a non-full Moon that I can see from my place. When the phase is full, the craters and details are not so obvious, when they are, I'm either away, the Moon is not visible due to clouds/haze/etc or I can't see it from my place.
I woke up early today as I had spied clear skies and a partial Moon yesterday. But when I dragged my sleepy self to the window, DOH! the sky was cloudy
. Luckily for me, I spent the next 20mins doing the best thing in the morning (surfing the local photo forum and making coffee
). The sky cleared up miraculously within that time, and I grabbed my camera to take the shots.
Taken with the KX at ISO 800, as I don't have a tripod to hold down the beast I am using and have to hand hold.
