Yeah, I took that about 10:00pm last night.

JR said I should have spent twice as much so I could have gotten the whole moon.

I'm impressed. Did you crop the picture to get the moon to look so big? Or use a telescope? Or is that just using the zoom on your camera?

You have to love a telephoto lense.

I did crop the picture down to this size, and yes, I had the camera zoomed all the way in.

The lens is an 18mm - 135mm but the camera has a 1.6x sensor so that makes it the equivalent of 216mm max zoom on a 35mm film camera.

I'm looking forward to a full moon rising on the horizon when it appears even bigger and yellow/orange. I'll see what I can come up with next time that happens.

If you REALLY have your heart set on getting a shot of a full moon I could always call you the next time I'm getting into the shower.  blankstare.gif

JR - I'm a little surprised that you don't send Web a Christmas card with a full moon.

I would love to get a picture of the moonrise, but it is so hard to do since I am at work or on the way home when it starts to appear. Maybe I can get something on th next round. I'll have to check the date, but if it is closer to the endc of next week, I may have a chance.

I'm glad I haven't received one of those.

According to Google calendar, the next full moon will be the 21st. Does the huge, colorful moonrise happen at the same time as a full moon? I've never paid that much attention before.

Not usually. It rises and at some scientific point it is "full". Although, it always appears full before it is considered timely full.

I'll just have to keep watch for it and be ready to go out when I see it peeking over the horizon. smile.gif

It makes sense as I think about it. Looking West, the moon would appear full earlier in the month than it appearing full when overhead.
