Description
Mare Tranquillitatis (Latin for Sea of Tranquility) was the landing site of Apollo 11, the mission that gave mankind its first ever walk on the Moon. I took this in my backyard today! I shot it with my 400mm telephoto lens, and added an arrow in photochopppe. It's not with a telescope or anything, but I thought you might like to see where history took place. You WILL need to zoom!!!!!

A great zoom and a very nice shot.
Fantastic image my friend!!!!Bravissimo!V:DDD.Hugsxx Whylma
You must have a good camera to be able to zoom in on such a fantastic place . Superb work , thank you for sharing!
I am on the sceptical side of the fence on that one mate. Radiation belts and all that, and ships made of thin aluminium, just don't add up. How ever, you got a great shot here mate.
Great pic, I've been wanting to do astrophotography myself but haven't had the money for the equipment such as cameras and scopes. Its unfortunate that the moon landing legacy is two fold, "Was it worth it?" and/or "Did we fake it" so I'm not surprised at least one reply here questions the landings. Nobody can know with 100% certainty if anyone landed except the 12 men who did. But I think the rest of us can know with a very high degree of certainty. The radiation question has been discussed by none other than the guy for which the Van Allen belts are named...James Van Allen. Hes on record for seeing no reason why the astronauts could not have traversed the belts because he knows the belts in great detail. The rocks have been found to be of lunar origin as well. Not to mention a whole host of other evidence that supports the landings overwhelmingly. So there are two choices...get your info from the scientists across the world who have analyzed the rocks and found them to be of lunar origins, or get it from pseudoscientists who peddle videos rife with unproven assertions and outright lies so they can make a cheap, lazy buck.
Superb capture my friend. God bless.
have you thought about a 1.4 or 2x lens adapter? it would really put you closer and very economical. I sold my 500mm lens when I bought my 5d, but I did not realize at the time that it was a full frame lens still a very good shot
Well done! Makes me think of Frank Herbert's "Dune"...and the mouse shape in the moon! Long live Muad'Dib!
Nice shot my friend, and the Moon is always a tough subject to capture. Leave the "flat earth people" alone as nothing will change the way they think.
Hey can't you see me waving? I'm the guy on the right! Awe-some shot. I'm glad the Moon stopped long enough for you to get that shot of me & the gang and a good one at that. Stan
Very cool. I never tried to find out exactly where it was, and I learned something today. :)
Excellent shot. Thanks for linking it to my similar shot at http://www.renderosity.com/mod/gallery/index.php?image_id=2562266 .
Well there you go... (I actually knew that but didn't want to show off lol) Neat one dude! Rob
Great capture
A great idea Andrew and I like the results!
