Moon photograph (weirdness in image)

So, on Tuesday night, the moon was crazy amazing. Really orange and so low in the sky. I decided to take some shots.

The first attachment is just a 'I really thought this turned out good shot'. For anyone interested:
ISO 200
f8
1/350

As you can see, there's no weirdness in that. It is cropped, but there wasn't anything in the rest of the image either.

The next two show what looks like a green moon to the left of the actual moon. They are completely untouched. I was just trying to get some cool shots with the clouds in there, so the moon is blown out.

Does anyone know what would cause that green 'moon'? I've taken hundreds of moon shots and have never had that happen before.

 

I do have a UV filter on my lens. I've never had ghosting before though. Usually, I'm not purposely blowing the moon out though to get a different shot.

It's kind of cool looking and does look like its some odd new planet out there. :-D Too bad it's most likely from a mistake on my part.

 

Yeah, I see what you're talking about with the cloud going through the ghosting. That's pretty wild.

Very cool on the sun dog. I've never seen that before.

I got a cool shot of an upside down rainbow when I was in New York City a couple of years back. Now I have to go find it. LOL Someone had informed me that it's actually what's called a Circumzenithal Arc.

 

Yeah, but then I still have my ST:TNG plug in on my Photoshop.:-D

 

I've seen moon dogs, but have never photographed them. The sky really is awesome if you take the time to look. I'd love to have a longer lens so I can get better shots, but thinking I'll be using my 300mm for a while.

Thanks. My composition and the quality leaves a bit to be desired, but I was there with my family and they were all about 50 yards ahead of me and were not waiting. They get a little impatient with my picture taking. :-DI've learned that if I actually want to take good shots, I need to go out on my own.

I had to look up Zeta Talk and Nibiru. Could make for some fun next time I'm bored. lol

 

fantastic pic of the moon in the first pic.

 

I've seen shots of Aurora's. They are pretty awesome. I like that vid.

hmmm...I have so many moon shots and to be completely honest, I had no idea that that's what that was when you saw the crescent moon and then could see the rest of the moon in shadow.

I will have to try that as the crescent moon is my favorite phase. I would think it would have to be tricky to get and I think the moon would have to be over exposed to see the darker side.

I may try it though. I could try for two different exposures. Could make for an interesting shot.



Thanks all for the compliments.

I thought that green 'moon' was one of the weirdest things.
