Southern Moon # 101
First of three moon studies 8x10 12:30 Am 7/9/09
The sky was not clear, but had a very thin cloud veil, it gave the moon a very soft look.
I love this moon painting! I did a series of full moon paintings a few years ago. Each full moon has its own (or several) names. The history there is fascinating.
I found it rises 30 minutes to 1 hour later each night...you'll see it in my painting time...I didn't pick it up right away. It also has a following star. It was in the south when I started, now it's more east and over head. Do you know what the gadget was....
I have a Google home page. The gadget is at http://www.moonconnection.com/moon_gadget.phtml#rt2ig1_1247695778 I guess just the www.moonconnection.com site will give info about the gadget for your particular home page.

Breathtaking!
I have monthly date now :=)
If you intend to do the full moons, they will sneak up on you. I had a gadget on my homepage to help me keep track of moon phases.
