Moon talk!

[MARKO]

With all this talking about the moon i just went out on my upper deck and the huge full glowing orange moon just came up and rose over the horizon over the sea.....AMAZING!  I am going outside with the Meade Telescope and get a good look! How does it look where you are at?

This is the 'Harvest Moon'.  It was nice and red on the horizon.  If you live in a dark area, check out this once in a lifetime opportunity to view a Type 1a Super-Nova:

Too much light pollution near me to make this out.  :(

Everything is the sky has been dim orange the past few weeks in my hometown since harvest started, all the dust in the air. We get a dim orange sky and sun at sunrise and set, and the moon is orange almost all night too. It's kinda cool.
