Even though the moon was super bright I still had a good time watching the stars and the moonlight play upon the surface of the water. I would need a tripod and a SLR camera to capture anything close to the beauty that I saw. I tried to get some pictures of the moon but it was so bright that the entire surface was washed out. When viewing the moon through the binoculars I could make out the surface with craters with the ones on the shadows edge being the most interesting as the made the lighted edge of the moon rough as opposed to the opposite mostly smooth and round side.
I did get a few interesting pictures. This one at the beginning of this entry was an interesting fluke that catches the subtle movement of the camera while the picture is being taken. The three pictures at the end may be the same sort of thing but the stars in the pictures that the shots came from were not blurred so I don't really know what to think. They are reminiscent of the lights captured above Stephenville, Texas in the last year or two.
