Gary:
Nice shots!

Equipment was more than likely a D300 (had a D3 also, but the 10% closer crop value of a smaller DX chip does have advantages in ultra telephoto) with a 300-800mm f/5.6mm lens. 

This is the lens?, and the head, but the tripod I used is 8' tall, so you can stand under it and shoot up. 

I have a lot of photo equipment, but started selling it off this year, as I was growing tired of it.  Bodies loose their value quickly, glass holds its value better.



Another moon picture, handheld with this camera and lens pictured.  No colorization or post processing done to this image.

Gumby:
Very cool. 8)  The talent in this community is awesome.

Gary, that moon's over a building just North of I-80 and East of the 10th Street Lincoln interchange... right?  And that Big Old Man Moon rocks... I like the stubble detail!

Ruahusker... desktop photos for sure... worth seeing many, many times on many, many days.  My kids were fascinated especially by the lightning shot!

NE Bull:
Well, looks like we have ourselves a couple of "Official" Volunteer NFOA Photographers. Now if only we had some events worthy of photos.!
Stay tuned.

Correct interstate, but off 27th street as you turn west. 

Kendahl:
Are you a member of an astronomy club? The one my wife and I belong to owns a few acres near Weeping Water. Use of the property is one of the benefits of membership. It is gated and posted with "No Trespassing" signs. A self-proclaimed liberal in the club claims the site is "very safe". Another member, who is a retired police officer, says there have been a couple of incidents that could have turned ugly. The retired officer usually carries. A couple of other members said they have guns in their cars. The place certainly is better than setting up on the side of a road. Nevertheless, I have felt quite vulnerable the few times I have been completely alone.

There is another problem with setting up beside a road. A member with a 10 inch Dobsonian was visited by the Omaha police. The officers told him they had received a 911 call about someone with a "cannon". They were polite and, once they learned what he had, wished him well and went on their way.
