Night Sky Photography - 10-09-2016 - Luna & Mars

Luna and Mars together in the southern sky after sunset on Sunday night. I managed to get a really outstanding shot through the branches of the trees. 
 
Luna is just past its first quarter phase. It is now a waxing gibbous moon, which means the moon’s disk is more than 50% illuminated by sunshine, but less than 50% engulfed in the moon’s own shadow.
 
 
I hope to get a really good shot of October's Full Moon - Hunter's Moon - this coming Friday evening during the 2016 South Carolina State Fair in Columbia, weather permitting.

  1. Well the political planets must be aligning too 'cuz y'all gotta check out this YouTube video C.W. It is a MUST see event. (I assume the link won't be a directly clickable one. Consider doing a blog post on it where you put in the live link.)

    “God has always gone outside of the established order in choosing leaders in crucial times. God went into a prison to get Joseph. He went to a barren woman to produce Samuel. He went to a sheepfold to find David. Gideon was hiding behind a winepress when God made him a leader. Moses was a stubborn fugitive when God found him.
    God always chooses those who people think should not be chosen!” Pastor Dr. Darrell Scott
