    Nov 28 2012. Full moon & Jupiter composite. Moon f6.3, 1/1000s ISO 200 & Jupiter f5.6, 1/80s ISO 1000 A very nice sight :-) Captured with #Olympus E5 & 90-250mm and although I could see the 4 moons of Jupiter through camera I could not capture, very difficult so close to moon with so much ambient reflected light.
    Lunar montage 2012. I started this shoot with phases of the moon in April 2012. It has taken 6 months awaiting the right weather conditions to achieve. It culminates with the August end blue moon, so called because it was the second full moon in one calendar month - a rare event and hence the name. Blue moons occur every 2-3 yrs. All lunar phases were captured with the Olympus E5 & 90-250mm lens with the addition of a x2 TC. This yields a max focal length of 500mm (35mm equivalent of 1000mm due to the four thirds sensor x2).
    August 20th 2012. 2117 hrs flyby. Stunning super bright ISS pass. Captured flying out of the setting sun and across the twilight skies. Trickier exposure due to ambient light so reduced exposure down to 5s and ISO 400. Captured with Oly E5, 8mm fish. Numerous 15s exposures, F3.5 and composite stacked with StarStax software.
