    SkyWatch Friday; Columbus moon



    A few nights ago I was able to capture these photos of the
    waxing crescent moon. All pictures were captured with my
    Olympus attached to my tripod. I used the night setting for the
    first picture. I wasn't pleased because it clearly wasn't what I saw
    in the sky. I switch to auto without a flash and slightly adjusted
    the ISO. Now that's what I was looking at when I saw the moon in
    the south Columbus sky. Enjoy

    Excellent moon shots. First one is interesting but too washed out. Great captures.

    Awesome!

    Ha, I actually recognised what you were looking for and had done from the pictures. Well done. Its not always easy to get the moon the way we perceive it.

    Impressive! I agree with you, the first one, a little to bright I think, the two other, like I said impressive;-)

    These are terrific. Moons are not easy at all.

    Moon River, wider than a mile,
    I'm crossing you in style some day.
    Oh, dream maker, you heart breaker,
    wherever you're going I'm going your way.
    Two drifters off to see the world.
    There's such a lot of world to see.
    I like your moon shots. Thanks
