At 0400 hours (4:00 AM) this morning Scooter (aka: Beagle Brain, BLAB – Beagle Lab cross) bugged me to let her go outside.
Experience has taught me to honor those requests.
I saw this big, fat moon and remembered this was the night of this year’s largest super moon.
So I shot it.
I fetched my trusty Canon SX740HS camera with image stabilization and 40x zoom to take a couple of moon shots.
It is pretty hard to hold a steady sight picture with a palm-sized camera, on an object 224,865 miles away, moving at a speed of 2,288 miles per hour, during the day. Harder still in the middle of the night when I would just as soon be back asleep.
I continue to be amazed that this is possible at all.
