12:19:59am is the timestamp on this photo, the camera does not tell me the temperature. Cold, I would say it was cold, kneeling on a dog mat in icy snow looking up through the viewfinder of the D580 with the Nikon 200-400mm lens attached to the tripod. Wondering a few things, like why I am not in bed, why I did not bring the gloves out with me, who will be the one who finds my frozen carcass since the family and the dogs have all gone to sleep, does TB12’s drive in the 4th quarter and the one in overtime each count separately as comeback drives, who comes up with these ‘super mean wolf red dwarf moon’ namey things and don’t I have enough photos of the damn moon? The specs of this photo are: 400mm, 1.6sec at f4.0, ISO 3200, the tripod burnt my hand in the cold way when I went to bring it inside. It was cool that the sky cleared so those of us that were daring enough could witness it, next time I hope it is scheduled in the summer, and maybe like 1 in the afternoon.
