We've had so much cloud cover recently! It makes me crazy. The last few nights have been warm and clear, and I thought I had a chance.

Hope your luck improves a lot too!

It was absolutely enthralling seeing it through my viewfinder. Floating up there, just within my reach, moving fairly fast toward setting!

It was gratifying and wonderful!

I would have had to be on my deathbed (fortunately, I am NOT!) to miss this opportunity! I did have to dodge some pesky wires but that just involved a bit of a wait while I admired the view.

I am very pleased with this one. Love the color which showed up (no enhancement needed.) Just a bit of sharpening and a tiny crop, and that was it!

It looks delicate and lacy, with a golden glow and and very nice detail in the craters. Good work!
