Anne Downie says: Thanks Laurence. Shame you didn’t see any of it – you’ll just have to move north! I’ve really enjoyed weeing everyone else’s photos of the display, too. No sign of Nessie, but we’re going further north later in the year, so I’ll report back after that trip :)

Hi Anne
Thanks, as ever, for the sharing. There has been a really pleasing flurry of the nacreous clouds visiting us in the UK.
Alas, where I live in South Gloucestershire, I did not, much to my chagrin, see any of these wonders. Lucky you!
Best wishes.
Laurence
PS. Seen anything of “Nessie” lately?!?

Hi Anne
“Happy Easter” to you – and to all CAS members and the CAS!
I like your photo much. You might like this one of a fascinating photo of Sun & Moon halo – combined, that is.
The caption says it all. Photo comes from NASA’s APOD page:- here is the link:-

Best wishes and enjoy.

Hi Anne,
For your enjoyment and wonderment:-
You might like to have sight of this fantastic view of the event – photo comes from NASA’s APOD page
http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap150331.html– look for the rare “Bailey’s Beads” around the Sun’s circumference. These are akin to stunning brilliant blue and/or white sparkling diamonds with eye-blinding light. Celestial magic!

Beautiful moody depiction of a once in a lifetime event.
Thanks, Anne.

Anne Downie says:
Thanks for taking the time to leave such nice comments, Laurence and Ginnie. I am always happy when a moon shot is successful! The trick is Spot Metering (if you have a camera with different metering options), rather than Multi-point Metering. Keep trying, as it is rewarding when it comes off!

Laurence Green says:
Thanks kindly, Ginnie.
I agree fully with that which you say.
I am an amatuer (very much at that!) astronomer – my big loves are Moons and Planets within our solar system. They exhibit clouds something like we never see here in our hemisphere and from which we can learn so much.
Like you, I share your frustration in photographing our Moon. Fingers crossed – the image you wished for will come to you at some point, I am sure! Don’t give up, ok.

I agree with all that Laurence said. This is a beautiful photo, and I have been failing miserably for years at trying to capture a good shot of the moon in clouds. So glad you succeeded, Anne, and appreciate that you shared it with us.

A heavenly shot, Anne, and technically rather difficult to capture the Moon and not lose its details.

Thanks Laurence. Yes, we do get wonderfully intense sunrises on clear, cold mornings up here!

Laurence says:
Anne, a really heart warming photo, especially at this time of the year in the UK,more so in your part of the world where the days are so terribly short and the nights so long. That said, winter has its own attractions to show us as in this very nice photo! Thank you for sharing this photo with us. Much appreciated.
Laurence

Hi Laurence. Thanks for the kind comment. Unfortunately, Nessie has remained rather elusive to date – think the above is a younger relative…

Laurence Green says:
Anne, a very nice photo indeed, and a good way of looking at a Sundog. You clearly have a seeing and observant eye!
Would you per-chance, have captured the fabled “Loch Ness Monster?!!?

Thanks Anthony – it was just begging to be snapped! The colours in the reflection were actually stronger than in the sky.

What an original way to photograph a sundog, Anne.
– you have turned it into a piece of abstract art!

So! here it is! Elephants can fly.
Good capture
Laurence
Can definitely see the elephant-shaped cloud in the sky! Looks like the elephant is dancing, marching along the road, as well as trumpeting! As a person who is keen on elephants, this is a good picture. Well done! From Rebecca Hill, Canberra, Australia
