Friday the Thirteenth Night Sky "Moon and Stars"
12-13-2019
Last Friday the 13th of 2019
I think it is pretty safe to say that this is the last Friday the 13th of the year. So if you really want to learn about Friday the 13th, here is a good link from Earth Sky dot Org. It explains it all. So what is so special about this Friday the 13th? Well aside from the fact that the previous Friday the 13th occured 13 weeks ago in September, the next Friday the 13th occurs in March of 2020, besides that that only other thing special about this Friday the 13th, is that I took some night time pictures from just outside my door. So enough about Friday the 13th, it was a pretty nice article.
So yesterday was full moon, people on the east coast of America should have been excited it was full after all at 12:12 a.m EDT on 12-12. I did not get a picture of the full moon. I did get a picture of Friday the 13th's moon though.
Above photo was taken on 12/13/2019 9:27 PM AKDT. I did crop out a lot of the sky to just have the moon. The moon was behind some trees low on the horizon. Camera settings were F/9 speed 1/250 sec. ISO-200 Focal length 300mm Even with the tripod I still had a hard time getting a really clear fully in focus shot, I am not going to give up, and one day I will get that special, "Yeah I took that picture" feeling when it comes to a full moon shot.
I should have went inside and changed my lens out, but since I had the zoom lens on and was outside and already cold I took some pictures of the stars. I actually think they came out pretty decent. I did do some editing of the pictures and so as not to bore you to much with reading my thoughts, I'll pretty much end it here, add a little at the end, and give the camera settings under the the next three pictures.
f/4.5, 15 sec, ISO-2500, Focal length 55mm
f/4.5, 15 sec, ISO-2500, Focal length 55mm
f/4.5, 8 sec, ISO-3200, Focal length 55mm
I almost did not finish the post in time, procrastination and all that stuff. Still for a Friday the 13th, it was a pretty good day/night

Thank you, Winter is the best time for night shots in Alaska, but it is a pretty cold time of the year. I am hoping to get some Northern Light shots one of theses days.

I love your moon and stars photos.
The moon was SO bright here.... .it gave the luster of midday to objects below.....LOL
I like the full moon in the winter, when there is no clouds in the sky it really cast some magical shadows. That night it was still pretty low in the sky, but when it is high on the horizon, the shadows are great, not so good for star pictures when it is up high, but down low like the day of these, not much of a hindrance.
Such wonderful night shots thanks for sharing
I am hoping to get some with out a moon, just stars, and maybe a little bit of the Northern Lights one of these days.
you will do it I am sure and I look forward to seeing them

Those shots came out nice. I quit trying to get the moon. No matter what I did, it was just not decent with my puny lens. My son has the 400mm which does pretty good, but it cost a pretty penny!
I just got done with a few shots from outside, felt like I was out there a lot longer than I was because of the cold, but it's Alaska, clear nights in the winter mean cold cold nights. Still i am hoping one of these winter nights to get some northern light shots, so I practice while I can.
