Amman Morning Moon-2 (waning gibbous), B&W, Amman, Jordan

            Second lunar photo from the verandah... slightly better than the first, but learned some things since then.  There is a great deal to learn about shooting the moon...

I have been practicing exposures and focusing as well at different times of the day (yawn)... as such I missed a good full moon shot three days ago... So this is at 89% of full... I also have tried my best to place the lunar landings here for fun... 

And one star!  I thought it might be a speck of something on the lens, but no... also if one lightens the sky, there are way too many stars out there!  And a planet!  While messing about, I photographed (poorly) Jupiter with four moons... and saw a satellite glide through the frame while I was doing it... enough... :-)
