Going for a star-gazing tour is a highlight of a visit to San Pedro de Atacama, Chile. I was about to take a photo of the moon through the telescope when someone bumped my elbow. I like the accidental effect. The Sea of Tranquility, where the Apollo11 landed, can clearly be seen (the middle of the three dark patches).

this turned out really amazing. Crazy how a little bump can create something so beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for your post. Really very interesting. And the pictures are also very amazing.
San Pedro de Atacama
The moon is not the easiest to take a picture of . I had some failed ones a few months ago when it had that reddish glow- takes a bit to get the hang of it.
Hehe, thanks Clare!
Still an awesome picture Keith!
Thanks Gray. It’s certainly one of my best failed photos. hehe…
Woohoo! Thanks Andi!
