Moon Through Clouds


Click Image for Larger Version

I was conducting a night lab where we were supposed to be looking at features on the Moon through telescopes and binoculars. Unfortunately, we had lots of clouds that night, but we muddled through the lab anyway. And I got to take some really cool pictures of the colorful clouds with the moon through them.
