My photo doesn’t do it justice, it looks amazing seeing it with the naked eye - you can see all the craters!

I’ve been watching the moon at mei’s suggestion for the past couple nights. Thanks mei! One night it was bright orange. The next night it was glowing white. It’s nice to look at it with awe instead of the cursory looks I normally give it.

Never the easy to get a decent photo of the moon.the number of times I have tried I lost count of. If you get everything set up it hides behind a cloud or as in the AZZ photo atmospheric mist surrounds it.
