Photographing the Super Moon - Sat. March 19, 2011

The Glow of the upcoming Moon started around 7:45pm
Our vantage point was at the top of Lost Dutchman Av. here in Apache Junction, AZ.
As the Moon neared the crest the sky glowed brighter
As the Moon peeked over the Superstition Mountains a plane zipped across the sky.
Strange lights and glows happened all around the scene.
This is the closest view I could get with my big Nikon D300.
Our little Cannon PowerShot SX30 got a closer look -it has a 34x zoom which is like shooting with a 850mm lens
Each shot was better than the one before
It felt like we could see each crater on the Moon's surface
All in all it was a fun and magical night.
