Lunacy

Aug 10, 2025

It was a full moon last night, and clear at Table Rock Lake, where I am right now. I decided to get the Seestar out and take some shots.

Here’s what moonrise looked like from the back deck at about 9:30pm:

And here’s the corresponding photo from the Seestar, immediately afterwards:

The moon still looks pretty red because it’s so low in the sky, and the moonlight is getting filtered by a bunch of extra atmosphere.

(I called this piece “lunacy” because that form of madness was, long since, believed to be caused by the moon. No werewolves spotted in my neighborhood.)
