With the super moon still nearly full, I planned to frame it directly behind the First Parish clock tower this evening. I have an iPhone application that gives me the exact location, trajectory, and timing of the sun and moon rising and setting. I drove downtown after 10 PM and set up in exactly the right spot. With any luck, I would have an 8-minute window to get the shot I was after. Unfortunately, the moon was masked by cloud cover and I had to settle for a much less artistic photograph. I have not had great luck when it comes to rare astronomical events and clear skies. I will simply have to persist.
