Description

At dusk, I saw a huge bank of clouds start to roll in and figured that our Supermoon would be a super-frustration. However, my younger daughter encouraged me to try anyway saying "It will be awesome, even if there are clouds." That was my inspiration, and she was right! I was able to setup and get good shots, between clouds. Later, as it got too cloudy to shoot, I took some gear shots that show how pretty a supermoon sky can be - even with clouds. I will post those later tonight or tomorrow.

This is a stack of my best 80 out of 1200 frames, shot with BYE, 1/80 sec exposure at ISO 400. Capture rate in BYE was about 30 FPS.

I used the f/6.3 focal reducer to make the image small enough to fit the entire lunar disk on the frame.

Thanks for looking!
