Pretty much everyone I heard from, aside from one person, wasn't able to see the moon the other night. It was tricky for me to get those shots, because there were times I went outside and didn't see the moon at all. It's unbelievable how much it was disappearing, reappearing, and then changing in one night!<br /><br />I take my photos with a Canon PowerShot sx260. I love this camera! It's amazing that I can zoom this far with a regular camera. I mean, without using a larger camera with multiple lenses, etc. Justine’s Halloweenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04036212957533234176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8795347148428519606.post-65988600175678809662017-02-12T04:30:55.103-06:002017-02-12T04:30:55.103-06:00Unfortunately there was heavy cloud cover on Frida...Unfortunately there was heavy cloud cover on Friday night and again last night. So I must content myself with your photos of the Moon. I can never get good night time shots. What do you take your photos with?Alisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00988920560392606218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8795347148428519606.post-61161407379119550932017-02-11T19:23:41.411-06:002017-02-11T19:23:41.411-06:00Lorelei ~ Thank you!

I did a little reading about that and found a page which I think explains what you're taking about:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.atoptics.co.uk/halo/crhal.htm" rel="nofollow">Cloud Crystals & Halos</a><br /><br />It sounds like the very cold weather could have had something to do with this too. I didn't know about the diamond dust effect until now. Although, it sounds like that happens nearer to the ground? Anyway, it would be very possible for there to be ice crystals in the cirrus clouds. I was freezing every time I went out there to take a picture!Justine’s Halloweenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04036212957533234176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8795347148428519606.post-25999539085720443152017-02-11T19:14:06.875-06:002017-02-11T19:14:06.875-06:00Matt ~ Oh, you did!

I'm not sure how close to earth it even was, but it appeared around 3 am. <br /><br />Thanks! Some of these did turn out pretty spooky. And believe me, it was spooky out there. Between the wind, those dogs howling, and some rustling noises. Not to mention the moon. :) Yeah, this did turn into some documentation with me going out every half hour or so. It was an interesting experiment to try. I'm glad my moon watching was last night, because right now it's rainy and the sky is completely overcast.

You go...We had thin clouds and didn't see much. You got a couple of great shots, however! Possibly the halo was caused by very thin cirrus clouds.
