Perigee Moon Over SATown (18 of 52)

It was a Perigee (Super) moon today, this only only occurs once a year and will be at its furthest point in November (Apogee Moon).  Good friends of ours lent us there telescope with a Nikon camera adapter.  There is some atmosphereic effect around the edges, but I could not be more happy with my 1st attempt.  Thanks Mike and Audrey for supporting my habit. 

I call this one "Perigee Moon Over SATown"

  1. Just goes to show it helps to have the right tool for the job. This shot is better than any moon shot I've been able to take with a telephoto lens.

  2. Sweet shot, three of us went down to the capitol mall to get a shot of the moon rising over the capitol building but no joy. Clouds rolled in we could not even tell were the moon was located.
