Millions & Millions

A couple days ago I tried taking my first picture of the moon. After many test shots I finally found something that worked and so I put my skills to work for a blip.

It's crazy. My husband and I love gazing into the nighttime sky and our most frequent question is always, "What happend to all the stars? When we were kids I seem to remember there always being more stars than you could count. Now, you can literally count the number of stars in the sky at night." So when I took this photo I don't remember seeing a single star in the sky in the proximity of the moon, but upon reviewing my photos the next morning, I was surprised. There are so many stars in the photo that I can't even begin to count them. I guess there are still millions upon millions of stars in the sky!

Oh, the larger view is worth the extra clicks!
