6. Beautiful, Peggy

We just saw her earlier tonight on our walk! Thank you!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

8. Thanks for your great remarks, my dear DarthDem!

I had gone out on my balcony to see the view and the clouds, and then my eyes lit on the moon!

The rest is history.

9. Nice pic! I just looked outside, and I'm surprised...

... that I can see the Moon with so much smoke in the air! I'm in Ohio, and the odor from the wildfires out West have been so strong that it seems more like most of the homes on my street had burnt to the ground instead!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

10. I'm amazed too that you can see it under such adverse conditions, my dear Buckeye_Democrat!

How lucky that you can!

Thanks for your comments.

13. Hi hi

Are you using a telescope? Spectacular shots

Oh my. , I thought of this!!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

14. I'm using a long lens, but not a telescope, my dear YoshidaYui.

It's an Olympus digital lens, 75--300mm.

It has superb image stabilization, which means that almost no matter how much my hands/arms shake, the photo won't!

The camera was hand-held and some post-processing with Paint Shop Pro was used on the photo.

I am thrilled with my results.

15. Lovely!

I went out to look at it about 11 pm. Too much light from street lights here to even think about getting a shot.

16. Thanks so much, my dear mnhtnbb!

Light pollution is a problem. I'm sorry you didn't really get to see it well.
