Last night, I actually had a moment or two after putting the boy to bed. So I went outside and fiddled around a bit more with my digiscoping setup. I took about a dozen shots of the full moon (actually, about 28 hours past full) in a rather stiff breeze. One shot, of the entire batch, actually came out fairly well. On the left is the shot as it comes out of the Nikon’s memory chip: lots of color that really wasn’t there in the live image, or in the LCD screen until the camera started to actually take the shot. The second shot, with the color removed, shows much more accurately what I saw on the LCD and expected to see in the final product.

Great photo, Ben. I was looking through your blog because Stacy posted a photo of the crescent moon flanked by two planets, as seen from their front porch. Wishing I had a digiscope to take to Kijabe.
It’s nice to find your frequent updates. J
Thanks, Jan!
The conjunction of Jupiter, Venus, and the Moon was beautiful. Eric and I enjoyed the sight, as did the rest of the household. Unfortunately, Eric was a little too awake and sleepy at the same time for me to set up my gear to get a shot…
