@APoD What's your trick to get the moon to appear so large in your image? Anytime I take a picture of the moon it appears very small compared to the image I see with the naked eye.

Use a telephoto lens (in other words, magnification).

Hey, if the moon identifies as a gas giant, who are we to disagree? You go, Moonie my girl.

@APoD Beautiful image! A correction for the alt text, though: it's not a crescent moon

@IAmDannyBoling @APoD Huh. Never seen the dark part quite so bright, but I guess that's the magic of photography !

I think the telephoto lens makes it more obvious like that
