Join me as I head out to photograph the almost full Hunter's moon for the month of October. I show how I plan a shot of the moon rising over Rivington Pike before heading out there to see if I can catch it.

It's not called the starbus for nothing Jay. It literally takes us to them, or at least somewhere dark enough to see them lol.

Yes I had to bump it up otherwise I might have got movement blur due to the moon’s movement whilst out at 600mm

Brilliant photo So the bright star above the moon is Jupiter!!!?? . I saw it yesterday and did wonder if it was or not.

Yes it was, but Jupiter will be around all winter. It just happened to appear close to the moon last night.

Brilliant Stephen, wish I’d looked into this, as you know I’m very near to Rivington and know the exact spot you were at. I’m just wondering whether or not you were nearer to Rivington Village you would have got a better shot with the angle being a bit steeper? I mean, I’m taking a guess but you know what you’re doing much more than I do mate. I used to have that Photographers Ephemeral, whatever it’s called, on my home but they stopped it for Android, I’ve since got PhotoPils but struggle to use it, not as easy as the other one. Anyway, even though I’ve not yet tried much Astrophotography, your videos are giving me not only ideas but some excellent, money can’t buy info, I really appreciate videos like that. Thanks.
@starman1969 Жыл бұрын
Glad to hear that Brian. I was better off where I was, because if I was in Rivington Village, the steeper angle would have meant the moon wouldn’t get above the hill until much later.

Do you have an exact location I could use to try and capture the moon over the Pike please
@starman1969 Жыл бұрын
The location will always be different because the moon never rises in the same direction from month to month. The only thing I can advise is to be on, or near the main road on the western side of the reservoirs.
