My timelapse from last night:)

BIGGEST FULL MOON OF THE YEAR: If you think tonight's Moon looks unusually big, you're right. It's the biggest full Moon of 2010. Astronomers call it a "perigee Moon," some 14% wider and 30% brighter than lesser full Moons of the year

And what's that bright orange star right beside the Moon? Read on...

IT'S MARS! In a coincidence of celestial proportions, the Moon and Mars are having close encounters with Earth at the same time. Moreover, the two will spend Friday night gliding across the sky side-by-side. It's a must-see event

It looks bigger through a telescope now than at any time between 2008 and 2014.

More info on the shots? :p I'm guessing you done your 30 sec x however many pics?

Was out photographing it earlier :-)

the shuttertime was only 1.3sec actually! with an interval of 4 seconds. so 2.7 seconds between each shot.

so at the end i had 2498 shots over almost 3 hours. and used 40fps for this vid

picked a relative high iso to get more stars visible on the picture.

got anything online yet?

I used an ND8, I've got the ND1000 (10 stop) but it's 58mm thread and my sigma 10-20mm = 77mm thread :D

Waterfall country = 20 mins from my house so nP for waterfalls here :p

did you tweak/photoshop it a lot?

I tested some awesome tilt shift lens @ focus on imaging event last year along with THIS and a bunch of Canon stuff :P

Tweaked that one a little (mostly colour @ left side to warm it up a bit) can't get the .RAW file off my card yet so not editing all my work just yet :(
