Nice picture Craig! As a railfan I can appreciate the foreground, as a meteorologist, I can appreciate the background....but it's not called a "moon dog", it's actually a lunar halo. However, there are "sun dogs"....bright spots in the clouds to the left and or right of the sun when the sun is low on the horizon.

Very nice Graig, by the way I liked your slide show at Wintrail this year.

Sweet shot in general, great view of the constellation Orion, and are those the Pleiades down and to the right from the moon? I can see more of them here than I can with my (weakening) naked eye!

It is simply amazing how a wide angle lens pushes the mountain way off into the horizon.

Nice, No jet trails thats a plus in this one.

Stunning photo, Craig!
Janusz: Indeed they are!
For those who may be interested, that's Sirius on the left-hand side of the photo - the brightest star in the night sky (from our point of view.)

Absolutely spectacular, Craig -- beautifully captured!
|
Congrats on the PCA, Craig!
