Indeed, however it's a quick photo with the mobile held up to the eyepiece :).

Feel free to invert if you like!

I believe you have a much better setup and better viewing conditions - did you capture anything good?

It's a great picture,dont get me wrong,any shot of the moon is never quite as easy as it looks to take & Ive never managed to get those eyepiece/phone setups to work properly

But I dont have a telescope,just a digital camera and have to play around with manual settings to get it,so it's always probably at least 10% off the ideal settings and I dont bother photoshop correcting.

And it might have been clear,up till later in the evening but there was a lot of thin hazy cloud around which the moon reflected light blurred alot, wasnt ideal imo

So those are the excuses in:) this is one I took

Did anyone else see an unusual variety of "faces" on it last night? At different times I saw grinning, smiling, thoughtful etc - presumably because the mountains & shadowing were more visible than usual.

Had you had a little nighttime brandy or two?

Err, no, I'm a sadly teetotal (allergies).

What I meant was that whilst the "man in the moon" usually only presents one fixed "face", there was far more shading & detail visible in last night's "Pink Moon", meaning that several interpretations of how the face looked were possible.

Mmm, not allergic to shrooms - well apart from the ones that kill everybody, obvs ;)

Just seen it's out again, so I'm off for a bit more mooning now
