And this is a little story on how we got it ;)

So when i picked up my wife from work last night there was this bright yellow thing in the sky , yes it was what look to me like a full moon.

So when i got home i grabbed the camera went on to the balcony and tried to make a photo of it .

1 ) taken with the sony a7IV camera and the Sony 24-105mm f4 GOSS lens at 24mm , not the results i was hoping for.

2 )So let's try it at 105mm and see if that is enough , well not really

3 ) hmm what if i crop the photo to aps-c size , nope still not good enough.

4 ) Time to bring the big guns i guess , get the tripod and the 150-500mm lens on the camera , at 500 mm you get this

5 ) crop at to aps-c size and you get this

6 ) crop it a little bit more and the result is this , that is my contribution for the
