"There’s a full moon risin’...Let’s go dancin’ in the light..."



Here are two pictures of the moon I took last Saturday, September 17th. This is what is called a Harvest Moon. At the time I took these pictures, I didn't even realize it was a Harvest Moon. There was something so striking about it that night; I found myself peering out the window every 10 minutes or so to look at it. So, eventually I felt the need to go out in my backyard and take a few shots.

This second one is a shot of the moon behind the clouds. It is a little blurry, but, cool nonetheless. These pictures were taken with my digital camera. However, I have been trying to educate myself more on astrophotography. Eventually, I hope to learn the right settings to get sharper, clearer shots. I also would like to experiment with using my camera in conjunction with a telescope.
