Crescent moon and Mercury as seen a few nights ago. Venus had set below the hills a few minutes earlier. Not a great shot, but “the camera you have…” and all that.

Quarter moon
Not surprisingly, the moon’s a lot farther away than that tree.

Shooting the moon
I need to get back to following astronomy again. I was surprised to see the Moon and Venus so close to each other, and only had my phone with me. #stargazing #moon #venus #conjunction #NightSky #tree

Looking…up?…at the moonrise over a rooftop.
The western horizon was blocked at sunset…but the view upward wasn’t!

Tonight’s waxing crescent moon. It’s passing in front of the Hyades star cluster right now, which I’d love to get a photo of, but the moon’s just waaay too bright to capture the background stars!

Tonight’s moon. Looks like it will be full in a few days.

I like taking photos of the moon when it’s between phases (rather than full) because you get to see the most texture in it at those times.
I suggest that a deep orange moon right before Christmas be called a #PumpkinPieMoon.

I was coming home shortly after sunset, got to the top of a hill and saw this deep orange moon, flattened near the horizon. By the time I found a place to stop, it had risen high enough that it was mostly round.
Composite of a background shot (the moon was waay too bright!) and a close-up of the #moon. I apparently moved a little bit, so the wire passing in front of it doesn’t line up exactly. #photography
Obviously I should’ve said “zoom” and not “close-up” of the moon… 🤦♂️

Four views of the moon over the course of tonight’s lunar eclipse, starting around 11pm and running until about midnight. I actually got some shots at the second stage without the phone line in the way, but I liked the way this looked.
