My wife and I picked up a telescope from the local public library and drove out into the country to see the super moon.

It was very very bright, sort of hurt our eyes.

The detail was amazing.

The differences in the outer edge when zoomed in I had never seen before.

Zoomed in the middle I found it hard to comprehend that it was the moon I knew.

Zoomed out and it was just so crisp, I've never seen that through a telescope before.

We had a couple of cars wiz by us at about 45 mpg on a dirt road while we used the truck's tailgate as a telescope platform. I was sort of hoping one of those idiots ran into a deer, turns out star gazing can be dangerous.
