FAKE Super Super Duper Moon

Photoshopped fake super moon over Watson Lake in Prescott, Az. It’s a real photo of the lake at sunset, and a real photo of the November 2016 super moon. But I made the moon layer about ten times larger than life.
My visual answer to all the super moon hype.

Illuminated by a flashlight, scooping you-know-what from the yard at night. Two dogs in the photo too.

Milky Way from Mingus Mountain

Milky way as seen from Mingus Mountain in Az. The pine tree on the right was painted with light – I shined a flashlight on it during part of the 20 second exposure. If you look really hard (hint: click image for a larger view), you can see 2 meteor streaks that run close to vertically. The dotted horizontal line between the trees towards the right is an airplane, its blinking lights come out as dots as it moves.
The star field is blurry, likely from too long an exposure as the earth rotates it motion blurs the stars.
