~99% Waning Gibbous Moon, Last of 2023

December 27, 2023

When I blogged a couple days ago about how you can photograph the Moon’s surface with just your smartphone, I did not lend any perspective as to what the native images looked like.  I cropped the small sections with the Moon in each.

The following day and at approximately the same time (in daylight), the sky was still clear.  So I took another round of pictures.  The image above was again taken with my phone’s Pro mode at ISO 200 and 1/3000 shutter.  Click on this image to pull up the complete and untouched 4032×3024 image file.  In this one, the Moon is just a bit larger than it was the prior day, and you can still see the surface’s detail.

The point of this is to show you how that little dot of a satellite can reveal so much detail with just a few camera setting tweaks.

I have been fascinated by space since childhood. My interest in technology also runs deep, rooted in fond memories of the CRT-anchored desktops my father tinkered with in the early 1980s. Professionally, I have spent over 30 years immersed in the technology sector, serving in capacities ranging from programming and IT to project management. Outside of work, my passions lie in astrophotography, astronomy, and philosophy. At my blog, I explore these interests, and I hope you will join the conversation.
