yes city lights cause lot of problems with sky pictures.

 

I had a little bit of trouble but it was able to get some good shots with my 135-400

 

Yeah, I was up too...and waited til 2:52am when it was fully covered....saw it from my living room window, using my Bushnel Yardage monoscope. That's the only type of ocular lense I own Too bad the laser on my scope couldn't tell how far away it is, so I can pick a club to hit it, haha.

 

Explain please...is this youranus or something?

 

don't know everyone was getting that on the pictures. some were saying it is some reflection with the gases in the air. As i am not an expert your guess is as good as mine. I wanted to do some touch up but i resisted in doing so.

 

could you see it in person?

It's definitely a reflection of something.......light is pretty complex so who the **** knows.

 

no i could not see the same in person.
