This is all I could capture of the magnificent aura around the moon last night. Anyone else see it? Anyone have any photos?
Interesting that you should say that. It was overcast and rainy here in Tampa last night but I love to get in the hot tube in the rain . The moon was full and though I couldn't actually see it, it made the sky glow and gave a very unusual visual of the trees against that glowing background.
Thanks for the pics; what is your geography?
Edit: Oh, I see you are from south of heaven, Georgia.
I would say that the cold front that brought the rain here last night must have passed through there the day before. They say another front is passing tonight so did it get cold there yet? I lived in Atlanta for a few years and seems like about the right time for a chill in the night air. Crispy air seems be filled with tiny ice crystals at higher altitudes and that is what makes the rings around the moon in your pics.
Then you won't get much sleep the night of Dec 13 ....
I can never sleep when brilliant things like that are happening.
Then you won't get much sleep the night of Dec 13 .

If you stay up to see them can you set your camera on time exposure and mount it on a tripod? You might be able to get some good pics of "shooting stars".Oh yeah.
