Quickly setup telescope and netcam before heading off to my croquet league (don't laugh, this is serious croquet we're talkin'!). I snapped a few images before shutting down and heading out. While at the game, around 9:30pm we saw an amazing lunar halo and lunar dogs that lasted for about 30min. By midnight there was a lunar corona, and very obvious (and steadily thickening) high altitude cloud. My plan to image more after I got home from the game was not to be. Good thing I took the image before the game!

SUPER MOON! Tonight the Moon was much closer to us in its orbit than usual, resulting is a bigger brighter full moon. Luckily the seeing conditions were great for the evening. It was a big night of broadcasting on NSN as a result of SUPER MOON! I did some Mallincam work as well as the Moon and Saturn. A great night!
