Most of the time the clouds cover the horizon at sunrise, on the New Smyrna beach area. This was one of the few times I saw the sun emerge from the Atlantic Ocean like a brilliant yellow disk. I was so sorry for not bringing my 400mm.
(Spanish: La mayoría de las veces que visito la playa en New Smyrna Beach por la mañana. Las nubes nunca permiten ver el sol salir en el horizonte. Fue un deleite ver el sol salir como un brillante disco amarillo. Me dio pena no haber tenido mi 400mm).
Location: Ponce Inlet, Florida.

Nice to see both so close in the sunset sky, but my manual focus sharp telephoto zoom, make them look far apart. Move around to position the heavenly bodies on some kind of composition with some tree branches. To get the sky lighter, include the branches and also have details on the moon, have to take the picture right at sunset, before getting dark. Press "L" for a large view.
(Note: The exif data never show f/stops of my manual focus lenses with adapters. Because they do not communicate with the camera body).

(Press "L" for a larger View). This time got my telescope and with the camera, adapter is like turning it into a super telephoto lens. Also, my crop sensor camera makes my 900 mm telescope like a 1,440 mm telephoto. Just crop a little and keep most of the camera resolution. I was able to resolve a 6 miles crater on the top rim of the crater (Posidonious B).
(Spanish:Esta vez utilice mi telescopio adaptado a la cámara, es como convertirlo en un Super telephoto. Y como no use una cámara "full frame", mi alcance fue de 1,400 mm. No tuve que cropear tanto la imagen y no perdí la resolución de la cámara, logrando notar un crater de 6 millas de diámetro).
