Waxing gibbous moon portrait

Here's a portrait of the waxing gibbous moon from about 10 pm on Saturday October 8th. The moon shone high in the south almost as bright as the full moon t will be this week. With the lack of humidity, the sky is so clear and sharp as if the brightness is turned up a notch.


The waxing gibbous moon is on its way to full moon on Wednesday which is the Harvest Moon or the Hunter's Moon according to the Old Farmer's Almanac. More about that later this week.
