Minolta Maxxum 7D DSLR w/ 'Bigma' 50~500 zoom @ 500mm. f/6.7, 2 sec, ISO
800. Slight gamma boost in Photoshop, and scaled back to the size I posted.

There were some thin clouds trying to run interference, but managed to
squeeze between 'em. That's a conjunction and the last two lunar eclipses
here in Seattle that haven't been clouded out completely; ~somebody~ in
weather production will be paying dearly for their lax oversight...

Thanks Bob
A 50 - 500 Zoom! Wow

Great air show lens - other than the Popeye forearms I'm growing from
horsing the beast around... the Bigma weighs in at about 4.2 lbs.

(Cat sold separately...)

Not better, but a few hours later. Taken in Seattle, WA.

It's ok. Mine was from the east (Montreal, Canada) with lots of high
cloud and light-pollution.

Neat to see the orbital movement of the moon in the interim, wish I had
seen the moon smack in amongst the Sisters. I live only a mile or so from
downtown Seattle, but fortunately that is to my south, so there wasn't
horrendous light pollution in the west.
