Description

A dense mist create this halo on the moon.
Nikon Coolpix 8400 on a fixed tripod, 8s exposure



With mist, lunar halo and almost no star visible i was going to declare the observation impossible, recover the equipment and enjoy the fireplace, but a quick check on the moon reveal an excellent image, with almost no turbulence.  Not so common situation for high alpine valley after a sunny day, that usually create "boiling moon" in the telescope.

So i manage to collect some 200gb of data and i have something to do for the next days.
