Here's that picture of the Moon I took a few days ago while photographing planets. The terminator highlights the craters well.

According to CalSky, tonight's Moon looks the smallest since October 28, 817. That's 1197 years ago. Next smaller full Moon will show up 140 years, on December 19, 2154, so for pretty much everyone reading this blog, this is the smallest one you'll see on Earth in their lifetime. Go out and enjoy the view while you can.

This was taken with my iPhone 5S through a hazy night sky on 19:35 KST via Cortex Camera.

The Iridium 42 featured in today's "The Toon-Box" was a frame from the series of burst shots I made with iPhone 5S. You can see the video of these shots as this YouTube video.

In contrast to the flare spotted in the less light-polluted spot, Iridium 52's flare in the low altitude among one of the heaviest light pollution in the country is far less dramatic. Even the -5.2 magnitude brightness is nearly washed away in the background. See the YouTube video below for the faint flare in action.
