• Tips for super moon photos – There's plenty of time to practice photographing the moon before the next so-called "supermoon". Indeed, next month's full moon is only a day after apogee, so is almost a supermoon again… Anyway, with your dSLR on a tripod try starting at a low ISO, usually 100, an aperture of f/6.6, and an exposure length of 1/100 second. Focus at infinity or the moon (whichever is nearer). Bracket. Experiment with higher ISO or longer exposure time. Often it's a case of underexposing and then pulling it back with your image editing software. Use the biggest zoom you can find but switch of IS if you're on a tripod and use a timer or remote shutter.

• Ducks on a Foggy Morning – There is a soft silence that covers still waters in the early morning. If you’ve ever been by a slow-moving river before the sun is over the horizon, maybe you know what I mean. It reminds me a bit of the name of the wind, in that it folds one silence into another.

It was never a tenable idea, as if the almost 400,000 km hop to the moon would somehow make the trip to Mars (anywhere between 55 million and 400 million km), despite the claims for energy savings in constructing equipment in reduced gravity…

Anyway, a waning, gibbous moon was low in the sky at 07h52 today when I snapped this view from my home office window. A crisp and very frosty morning, light from the rising sun succumbs to the Tyndall effect and gives the moon an almost copper tone.

Meanwhile, quite bizarrely, California has named a new site a state historical resource even though the site isn’t even on Earth, let alone in the US state. According to the BBC, the Apollo 11 moon landing site is now included on the state’s register. I wonder whether they were hoping to boost their ailing finances by charging space tourists a visitor’s fee.

By the way, do you know the moon’s name? I’ve got a copy of Moon 3D for the tenth commenter to post the correct answer. Judges’ decision is final.
