Saturday, august.9 as i was sitting inside my room working on my photographs on my laptop late last night, i saw this moon and the beautiful colorful clouds over lake Pörtschach.
our room is on the 2nd floor and we have a wide window. seeing the moon and the colored sky encouraged me to photograph it.
i have no idea what was going on around this half moon and i could not see this green object from my naked eyes until i have downloaded my photographs and i saw this green object!
could it be another planet circling the moon at the right time i was photographing it?? or could it be an Unidentified Flying Object, LOL? either one, then i have made history for myself, LOL..!!!
at first, i thought it could be a reflection or dirt on my lens but seeing each 3 shots of photograph and it is GREEN and somewhat rounded made me realized there is something going on around the moon as this green object was not standing still.
Photograph 2 and 3 obviously shows like there is another planet moving around the moon or around my earth, but which planet could that be and what is it? any idea someone? i am very, very curious now...

strange. when i said green object, there shows half of my text colored green!!! i didnt colored my text and somehow the photographs couldn't be open to enlarge but you can view as it is. i have no idea what is going on during the uploading period... and i can't do any adjustment for now as i am running out of my time for morning garden mass at our hotel. Happy Sunday my sincere bloggers.
Now that's interesting, green object and your text being green as well, Portschach sounds like a mysterious place to be, lots of happenings :) You are going for morning garden Mass Nina, how's the weather there? Happy Sunday Frau Ottenbacher :)
welcome back Joann. we just finished mass, it was wonderful, the 3-piece choir singers was amazing singing the Lord glorious songs and i have pictures taken with the Bishop after mass. my FIL took it. Weather is so perfect out here, sunny but cool breeze, couldn't ask for more. i never attend open mass like this and by the lake furthermore. unfortunately, i cannot share my photo taken just now bcos i took it on my cellphone and it didnt bring my USB connection. i thought i wud be rude to use my other digitnal camera during mass but i am wrong. lots of people took photographs. oh well, i cannot ask for everything, right. How was your holiday btw?
yes, pretty mysterious out here... lets see what is the next mystery for me to discover :)))
aikkk... i am using another puter, i dont see green text anymo from this public puter, yikes!!!! really strange or is it me eyes LOL
Holiday was great Nina, put up some pictures at the blog, mostly scenary pictures, the rest will upload them onto Facebook later this evening if I am able to, go check it out when you are free....
i just left your blog, Joann... nah, cepat dari kilat sudah saya hahaa...
I like betul your story behind the subject of your photograph, boleh compile and make a book.....pandai eh you ni :)))
aikkk... i just posted and it is not showing!! nevermind. i rewrite again. something fishy is going on round this "GREEN" headline :)))
thx for your compliments, Joann... nah kembang sudah hidung sia hehee... write from the heart baitu... :)))
P.S. if anyone saw the same post twice, please pardon me for the internet glitch from my side :))
i still saw my green 'planet' again late last night and it seemed to 'orbit' around the half moon!! i'll share some photos later today or when i can. i am getting flat curious what that green thing was and have failed miserably to find about it over the web as well :((
Nina, the 'green' object only shows during the nite? Not a sattelite or something like that??
from each shot of my photographs it moved or orbit, Joann and i wonder if you cud also try to photograph this moon from your end and hopefully your camera will capture this green object. Yes, it seemed to show at night when it is dark. i am going to try to photograph this moon again tonight after dinner.
I too have the photo, last night from a deck in RI.. what is it?
HI I found this online..
Planet Uranus is on the very edge of naked-eye visibility, reflecting enough sunlight even from its distant position to come in at magnitude 5.9. Sharp-eyed skywatchers who are familiar with the heavens and have very dark skies can find the planet with no optical aids. Under city or suburban lighting conditions, however, binoculars are needed.
A good-sized backyard telescope -- roughly 3 inches or bigger -- should resolve the pale green planet into a tiny disk, though no features will be visible. Uranus is about 30 degrees to the left of Mars or, measuring with the width of a fist on an outstretched arm, about three fists.
hey Joel, that's a totally perfect explanation about the green round object circling round the moon, so it's Uranus.....anyhow will still look into it tonight...thanx for checking it out :))
hi Joel, thanks for dropping by and thank you for searching and giving your comments. i read online people who photographed moon in august will see this green object after they have downloaded their photographs. they too, asked the same question wanting to know what it was. my intention was the moon until i saw that green object. last night i photographed them again and it seemed to orbit around the moon. i will put up these photos as soon as i can. i photographed them here at Pörtschach, Austria and i am still searching what that green orb really is. Planet Uranus? my father-in-law assumed it may be sun. Planet SUN?? :))))
hey Joann. you have homework to do at your end tonight, try to photograph your moon and see if we see the same thing :)))
oh Romeo, Romeo, or is it Juliet, Juliet, why did you remove your post? hehee.... :)))
anyhow, my sincere Bloggers, i have another bizarre green planet to share with you taken last night at 9-ish but will only post when we are back in Germany. We're driving home tomorrow. Stay tune :))))
Nina, I'll try my luck tonight with the photo shooting, wanted to do last nite but the whole nite the sky was so cloudy, no sight of mr. moon at all and then it is pitch black....see if my cheap digicam can capture the moon and clear as yours :))
Awesome, pictures Nina!!! Wah, the moon and green object shots are just amazing. Buli tahan oh kan you take pictures...just can't get enough looking at all your photographs.
hi Joann, i saw bright moon up here in Germany's sky and outside its circle it looks so glowing, macam vapor-like lah and FIL said it maybe a sign of going to rain. Lets see if he is correct tomoro to know :))) so, did you manage to photograph your moon? i am getting skeptical about the green object, i cudn't find what it was. Some new photographs to follow soon :))
hi Joyce, many thank you for visiting and your support compliments (kembang hidung sia sudah hehee)
Nina, yes I managed to take a few photos of the moon Tuesday evening and that was already 10pm but the sky was still a bit bluish then, I thought I would take some more after my shower, when I came back out, the moon has gone into hiding and suddenly it started to rain :(((....and last nite, at 11:30pm I saw the moon again, so I quickly took another snap of it, will upload it the soonest and we can compare notes, hehehehhehe.....
By the way, how are you my dear? Housing thingy settle? Ready to move into your new place on Monday?? Nah, you take care ok :))
Aiya Nina, cannotlah, my cheap camera cannot zoom so far as yours, my moon is so small, so funnylah....shame to show you...LOL...bikin malu saja..
Bright and shine out here! my FIL is wrong with his weather prediction about the moon we saw last night, haha... but thanks to him for 'playing guessing', LOL.
Ohhh... Joann, dont say cheap camera lor... i saw you took many nice photographs with your camera, it is just you can't zoom further, but worth the try kan hehee.. Thanks for trying, Joann, really appreciate your effort until 11:30pm...
in 1.5 hrs time, hubby will pick me up for our scooper duty to re-organise and organise our moving stuff in town. Altho' our container will be delivered on Monday, we might still stay at PIL's house until Tuesday perhaps. We shall see :))) You take good care there, too Joann.
Many greetings to all my fellow Bloggers reading this behind their screen quietly hehee...
oh yikes, i am so eager to post my new images of my myterious green planet but my time is so tight. i hope to post something new today :))
Hi Nina,
Sudah settle in Heilbronn kah you? Just to let you know, on the way home we pass by junction going to Heilbronn, then suddenly I remember you..you´re abt 3 hrs drive frm our place. Lain kali datang lah jalan jalan in Bavaria (Bayern).
Luth, we will move to Heilbronn on Thursday next week until all our barang2 are well arranged. Delivery date this Monday, tidak sabar2 sudah saya ni :))) We still have some functions to attend here in Ludwigsburg so we will stay at PIL's house until Wednesday :)))
oh yes, of course we will pay a visit to you or you visit us. kalau 3 jam tu boleh kira no problem lah... :)))
Me too, when we were driving to Luth, a few times sia nampak Heilbronn, I told Tonnie this is the town/city where my friend is gonna live in (belum jumpa, berani sudah bilang friend, boleh bah kan)....my place to yours is 4 hours and 3 minutes....bolehlah tu...at least so much nearer than flying home to Malaysia....
Talking about flying home to Malaysia, kami kan si Luth, Flores, Maggie etc., we normally use this travel agent for our air tickets, dia ada special price for Malaysians and family, do check it out, kalau you can pakai too :))) www.airways-travel.de
Oh pintar kau Joan, sia lupa abt the travel agent, its good that you introduced it to Nina. Yabah Nina you´ll get discount flying to M´sia if book from this travel agent. Take note ok.
Bah Nina, I know how happy you are going to settle in yr own nest soon. Byk freedom bah, u can do everything whtever u wnt in yr own home kan. Nanti when u already settle and have time bah can start travel again..3 jam tu like nothing with the good highway here hehe...oh ya, if u come to my place I can introduce u to my Sarawakian friend from kuching not far frm my place.
Saya belum ada masa mau update my own blog ni haha...tapi sempat juga pigi cubuk blog kamurang.
This is the reflection of the bright moon light going through the lens, bouncing off the film or sensor, and striking back against the inside of the lens, and becoming part of the photo. - take it from a pro.
Take the UV filter off the front of your lens.
Dear Gary and Phule,
Thank you! thank you! so much for enlighten me and other bloggers who will read your comments that the green object was indeed, a reflection. i have thought so after photographing it 3 nights in a row that it could be some kind of reflection. I have blog it again here: http://ninaoa-digitalphotography.blogspot.com/2008/08/enigma-of-green-planet.html (with my comment suggesting it might be a reflection, in the bottom last comment box)
Phule, yes - i have my UV filter on, you figure it out so right. I'm amazed you could 'see' my camera :))
Thank you again to both of you for solving this mystery i have long expected to know. Case happily closed.
