APOD 2.1

On the night of Halloween: November 2nd deputed a bright Full Moon. Known in the northern hemisphere as a Hunter’s Moon. The photo was snapped in Sobreda, Portugal. This photo is actually playing a little trick on the viewers. The photo is actually a 2 digital photo, one short and one is long exposure. The reason for the combination was to bring out the details of the bright lunar surface as well as the fainter features in the dark surrounding clouds of the other photo. This photo is awesome in my own opinion, and since last quarter I ended on a photo of the moon, I thought it was only fair to start this quarter off with a photo of the moon. The photo is beautiful, and it makes it even cooler to know that this is a photo made of in fact two photos combined.
