did you see the moon tonight?

So clear was the sky it was worth having a go at photographing it



Nikon D810 and Nikon afs 80-400mm lens
low the photo right up and look at the craters in the 1'oclock position.

Just one of many photos I took, not had a chance to look at all of them yet

Re: did you see the moon tonight?

I love the moon .

It's a known fact that people are affected by the full moon even our local police force who post on Facebook each day tell us that on the evening of a full moon there are more arrests ! People become loony apparently.

Good picture

Re: did you see the moon tonight?

It has been scientifically proved that the moon does affect some people - hence the word lunatic. My dad often became depressed when the moon was full. I go the other way - it can make me high!

Someone who worked for me had OCD which became worse on a full moon - I used to adjust her work load accordingly.

Yes, I have heard this many times, but never understood how the moon can do this, strange isn't it.

Because the cops can see the perps better under moonlight?

Nice photo RS, too cloudy up here for the most part to take lunar pictures. Can't even see the occasional Blood Moon either.
