Title: The Moon, Mars and ISS last night
Post by: Kenny on Dec 26, 2014, 14:45:52
I spent the afternoon and evening having a play with the Canon 450D I bought (from Amazon-refunded Samsung table proceeds) as there was a convenient conjunction between the Moon and Mars, plus two bright ISS passes, one of which (from Otford) would fly across the face of the Moon. Here are the results. Hosted (with camera details) in the Gallery. DSLR Day #1. :)

Nice glad you got one of ISS across moon. Was looking at that on Heavens Above and was wondering if any one would get it. Nice and we'll done... John.
