Mars is in opposition TONIGHT. And it is the closest it has been in 15 years, when it was the closest it had been in 63,000 years!
Of course, I have clouds. Some crazy storm system has been marching across our sky for about a week now and is currently dumping flood-inducing rain on a parched Ireland.
So, this is mainly what I was dealing with.
But I did manage to catch a few decent shots…at high ISO.
Never saw even a hint of Mars.
Things to remember about shooting the Moon:
- lowest ISO available
- adjust expose until Moon looks grey
- set FOC (focus) to 100 (infinity)
