Funny story for this one, on the night of the strawberry/honey moon I was excited for the chance to take pictures of it, after all this was a once in a lifetime phenomenon (a full moon this month coinciding with the summer solstice) and I had just gotten an iPhone adapter in the mail that I was eager to try. However with local cloud coverage being what it was there was a chance I might not even get to see it, let alone take pictures. So, figuring we could get a better view from a different part of the state my father and I drove out to Fisher Meadows in Avon- a large area of soccer fields and ponds-where I hoped to find clearer view of the skies. We set up the mount and the camera in the middle of the soccer field, took a few videos and waited patiently for a break in the clouds, to no avail. When, without warning, we were ambushed by a rouge sprinkler system which must have been turned on by a timer. My father dove in front of the lens and I, as quickly as I could, grabbed the box of eyepieces and ran to the safety of the parking lot. None of the equipment was broken (and I probably needed to clean the lens anyways) but we decided to call it a night and go home, damp and defeated. However, the moment we pulled into the driveway we looked up and, with utter disbelief, noticed a break in the clouds. We quickly set up the equipment and took a few videos, which became the picture below.
Overall, it was a good time, and I think the pictures came out decent, though I still have a lot to learn in terms of post processing
Images taken on June 20th with the Celestron Nexstar Evolution 8" Schmidt-Cassegrain, from West Hartford CT. The camera I used was the standard iPhone 5s video function with Gosky adapter. The post processing software used was Pipp, Autostakkert!2 and RegiStax 6.1
