The Full Moon

[Back to the Lunation Index]



Chris Newsome took the following two pictures of the full moon from Porthmadog in Wales on the 21st November 2010. He used a Canon 20D camera and a 200mm lens. As for the exposure - well he claims that is a secret!






This picture of the full moon was taken by Simon Allcock at around 08:00 am the 16th December 2005 using a Fuji FinePix A330 digital camera.




Simon Allcock took the following picture of the full moon on the 16th November 2005. He used a hand held Fuji Finepix A330 digital camera looking through a 32mm eyepiece on his Meade LX90. The image was then processed in Photoshop v9.




This picture of the full moon was taken by Malcolm Neal on the 16th November 2005. He used a digital camera with a 70-300 mm telephoto lens. This works out at 450 mm due to the CCD size as compared to 35mm film.




Chris Newsome took the following picture of the Moon just 14 hours prior to full on the 20th July 2005. He used a hand held Minolta Z2 digital camera, a 1 second exposure at f/3.5, a 400 ASA, and an approximately 135mm telephoto setting.




Here is a photo of the rising full moon taken by Chris Newsome on the 20th June 2005. He used a Minolta Z2 digital camera, 1/25th second at f/5.6, 100ASA, 380mm, and hand held from his bedroom window! A slight unsharp mask was applied in Photoshop V7. No colour correction was made - this is how the moon looked!
