It was very peaceful outside; nobody in our neighborhood was up yet (except me!) It wasn't even cold.

I had such a good time seeing the moon come into focus, craters and all.

Moon River
The cow jumped over the moon
When the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie
Let's dream in the moonlight

That might be one of your best moon pictures, the line is so sharp.

It was beautiful this morning here too. But I was out with my binos looking for that comet we are supposed to be able to see over the next couple days. Venus is amazingly bright too.

That really is a clear shot!

The line is very clear. Part of that clarity is probably due to how still the air was. Not a breath was stirring!

I have to brace against a breeze at least 80% of the time, I never seem to take the time to get out a pod for stability, I'll just lean up against something!
