Moon 18th May 2017

Since starting Sam's Lunar Look In I have learnt that we see the moon much less frequently than I expected.

This is my only recent sighting, 18th May.

9:15 in the morning. Very bright day so can't see much detail but it looked big in the sky.

Moon 10th May 2017


The full moon continues!
So do the lycanthropes!


9th May 2017


Jupiter again. Very visible to the eye - the photo doesn't really show the brightness.



9th May 2017


One for the lycanthropes...
Full moon!
Howl!

7th May 2017

The big blob below the Moon is probably Jupiter. There are clouds but I could still see the Moon.

The light contrast is better in the second photo because it was nighttime rather than early evening daylight so there is a much darker sky and better definition.

4th May 2017



It was a cloudy night so I took this video to show how difficult it can be to take pictures of the Moon. Look at the fast-moving cloud running in front of the Moon!



2nd May 2017

I haven't seen the moon for nearly a month.
This photo is very good because the shadow runs right on the Apollo 15 landing.
David Scott and James Irwin landed near a crater named Salyut in the Hadley Rille of the Apennine Range on 30th July 1971.
They stayed on the Moon for 3 days.
