Well I played around photographing Jupiter for the first time and I got to bed really late or early (3:45 am) today... and then I got up late (7:45 am) and looked outside to see the Moon... it was relatively clear but daylight was breaking! I hurried and got dressed and grabbed my camera gear and went outside and set it up my camera rig... turned on my camera and it said "No Card in Camera"! I had forgot that I had left the chip in the computer when I was working on Jupiter much earlier in the day/night! Well I ran back inside, I really just walked fast, and got the memory card from my computer, I wish I had memory card in my head, and put the card back in the camera, reposition the Moon back in LCD screen and focused, it was getting light now, and I started taking pictures... long story shortened, I only got one Moon shot that was half-way decent because of the light and morning mist!
If you read all of this you are one patient individual!
Bruce, All in all a good job. I saw the same thing only we were partly cloudy. Perhaps in April with the full moon rising around sunset. Gary

Thanks Gary... much appreciated... I am waiting for the next quarter Moon...
I am looking for the full moon to rise over our downtown area 4-4-15. It should have nice color as the sun set is about 20 mins different. I will post and let you know. Gary

Thanks Marc... now I just put a spare card in the camera as soon as I take one out to download shots into my computer...I have several large cards and just didn't think about it before... I just switch them out so I won't forget and have an empty memory card slot...now I will always have a card loaded in the camera no matter what... :)
When that kinda stuff happens to me I call it a GOOD day! Dang, you remembered that the camera needs a mem card, you're way ahead of me!
Nice shot, and I hope your good luck continues. :lol:

All things considered, pretty good shot Bruce. Couldn't help but chuckle at your story. Been there done that...more than once I'm embarrassed to admit. Gotta have a sense of humor...I keep telling myself. Almost like reading glasses...gotta keep them in more than one place :lol:
