Description

When I went outside to image I had no clue what I was going to image. The sky for a change

was relatively dark but I knew I would be racing a full Moon rising. I looked around for a

few minutes and decided I would try to get a better image of NGC 6960. I intended on taking

as many images as I could before the Moon reared it's head. I managed to get 30 usable

images but with image number 19 the images began to get brighter with each image. By the

time I got to the 26th image a full Moon was up in all its glory. I've been kind of mad at the

Moon for the past several days but tonight when I saw it rise it was magnificent. It had the

prettiest yellow/orange color. I should have gone inside and got my other dslr and tried to

get a photo of the Moon. Sorry guys once I start talking I never know when to stop. Please

enjoy my latest image of NGC 6960.
