It was glorious last night out here in the Upper Left Corner.

I also saw the Eclipse last cycle while at the Washington Coast.  
Creepy.  Cool. Sobering.  I watched it very erly in the a.m. with Leica 
Trinovid 8x32 binoculars and wished I could have captured the image and 
the colors - like a rough iron ball glowing just under cherry red.

I've never had a lot of luck photographing the moon.  Always had good 
bodies and lenses.  Never learned how to do it right.

I suppose I could set the R9 on Program with the 70-180 APO at 
180mm/2.8/infinity and go for it.

But the really big lenses (Telyts and the Big White Lenses From Japan) 
provide a larger neg image suitable for enlargement and showing more 
arresting detail of the moon's surface.

Thanks for the reminder.  Harvest Moon is always the best moon during 
my favorite season.

Bob in Seattle  (where it's sunny and clear.  Go figure)

Indian staples--are now ready for gathering.
