Phases Of The Moon

I was experimenting with my compact camera to see what kind of photos I could capture of the moon. Here are the best photos taken during autumn.

I even managed to capture Jupiter and its 4 largest moons – Io, Europa, Ganymede and Callisto!

These photos were all taken from Tasmania, Australia over different nights or early mornings. I’m pretty happy with the results seeing as I only used a compact camera. Have you ever used a similar camera to photograph the moon? For readers in the northern hemisphere, does the moon look upside down to you? 😀

Until next time,

Sue
