Waiting For the Moon


Tonight was a scheduled Moon Watch for our astronomy club.  At first the weather looked like it would be clear, then as the afternoon progressed, it became more cloudy than forecast.  Five of us went to the event with telescopes, and it didn't look good.  Then it began to get darker and there was a beautiful sunset as the clouds began to thin.  I took this photo of two of our members silhouetted against the sunset because it was a spectacular photo.  The clouds continued to clear and we finally were able to show visitors a beautiful crescent moon.
