Got a quick shot of it here in Cheshire too, missed the eclipse unfortunately. I was completely clouded-out this morning! ☁️

Almost full now, very bright in the evening sky just after sunset.

Shot just after sunset, this high contrast image I took of the Moon brings out the faint details in the lunar mare and craters, most prominently the Tycho crater in the bottom right of the lunar disc.

one step closer to Alpha #FLTA006! Lockheed Martin’s LM 400 is now integrated on Alphas payload adaptor. Up next, we’ll encapsulate the payload in our fairing, transport it to the pad, and mate to Alpha. Stay tuned as we get ready to launch on Sat, 3/15 @ 8:25am CST! fireflyspace.com/missions/alp...

Thank you! Shot on a Sony mirrorless (DSC-RX10M4) and edited in Adobe Lightroom. The camera is pretty old but it does the job nicely.

Nice! Just found you on here after moving from *that* app. Good to see a strong community on this side, I was worried there’d be hardly anyone I know on here! 😂

Very exciting!! I’m going to (hopefully) fly out to Spain to see that total eclipse, it’ll be my first ever if I make it!

Even if I don’t get to Spain, it’ll still look spectacular from where I am in the UK - weather pending of course.
