The Sky at night Aug 2021

A rather nice and rare night showing both the waning gibbous moon and stars too. A bit of trickery had to take place here to display it like this though. Some minutes later, light cloud came again to obscure this scene. Taken from my garden.

Enjoy full size,

Hi Herb
A very nice picture, which I like very much!
I have not had much success with the moon this year - too cloudy / hazy..
You did well to get this one!
Best Wishes, a nice weekend, and stay safe!!

Yep, that is what my on-line calculator told me anyway. Moon was 1/250th at f8 ISO 800 (as in daylight) and the stars were 15 full seconds @ f5.6 -ISO 1600, so no way anybody could get all of this in one exposure :)

Hi Peter, I am fortunate as the moon often shines straight into the front of our house windows (lounge & bedroom) and so I am often aware when it is clear. that being said -it very rarely is. Sometimes it looks great but by the time I get the camera out on its tripod, clouds obscure it again. That being said - many times as I visit the loo in the early hours of the morning, the bathroom (90 deg clockwise of the front) is lit up through the frosted window with the light of the moon that must be then quite visible.

Cheers, Herb
