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. |
