It was fun after I was done shooting!

The moon was so small and of course, it was starting to set. So I was having some trouble catching it and getting a good focus.

I was very pleasantly surprised to see that I had several really good shots. That first moon did not need any post-production editing. That's how it looked, as it came out of the camera! That's rare for me.

The third moon did have some post-processing, just enough to bring out the craters more sharply. That's typical for me!

And some nights, I set up and right away get any number of fantastic shots! You just never know!
