The Blue Moon

Local astronomer, Rick Baldridge, had predicted that this Blue Moon would rise behind the Domes of Lick Observatory from Observatory of Foothill College.

There were about a dozen astronomers with their telescopes and digital cameras to capture this event.

Unfortunately, what everyone saw was this Blue Moon rising above the clouds:-(

Good shot, clouds or not.

Nice shot, Bryan. Same thing happened here, I had to wait for the moon to get above the cloud layer.

Sad, but super shot anyway Bryan.

It's still an incredible capture. I like the cloud bank below and the red glow. Super detail. V.

Those darn clouds got me one this one! I saw the Moon coming up - nice and orange and then "poof" it was gone from the sky before I could even get a shot off. I waited a bit and got one image with clouds streaking through it but I never had enough time to really get a decent image :-(

I love this moon! Great blue sky layers, and I like the spots on the moon which look BLUE :)
