I'd some great pics 'f the full moon last eve 'fter several hours 'f 'ttemptin' such a feat. Figured I'd share this with ya folks 'nstead. 's darkness blanketed, wispy clouds movin' 't high speeds 'bove the atmosphere created a hazy glow. Which 'twas kinda good coz ya can clearly (well, from the distance anyhow) see the satellite 'bove that beautiful, fuzzy moon. Planes added to the "magic" with their criss-cross remnants blazin' cross the sky. A small patch 'f darker clouds down'n the lower left hand lendin' a bit more mystery. Did'ja get to see last eve's full moon'n all her glory? 'r did clouds shroud yer view? Gorgeous, yet nippy night to be out snappin' pics. I've great hopes one day 'f a camera capable 'f capturin' all those stars. Quite prevalent out here'n the open plains. Very vivid 'n vast with the naked eye.

Yes, those planes did leave marks in the sky which make the picture look all the more interesting. I did see the full moon last night, and it was so bright and mesmerizing.

@crazyhorseladycx Our skies were clear for this full moon also, clear which made for very cold nights.

@Juliaacv yes ma'am, that'd be the drawback this time 'f year. we lose that cloud cover'n those temps plummet quickly.

@just4him i'm thinkin' nobody'd questioned such, but'cha know i cannot mislead folks'n such a manner. could'a got lots 'f traffic though 's 't seems there's quite a few who've the believes 'f those alien ships. i truly dunno how folks manage'n the city. i tried 't once, thankfully worked 3 jobs so'd not the time to fret 't.

@crazyhorseladycx Now, if it were a real UFO and not a satellite, yes, you could. It's the one thing I miss a lot with living in the city.

@crazyhorseladycx they have cameras with special lenses for night shots. They are pretty pricy though.
