I know this isn't a weekly challenge, but an idea I thought would be best to make a thread here, as opposed to other sections of the forum.
Saturday, October 31st has a full moon and it is Halloween and also the "night" that some of us will set our clocks backward, if you didn't know. We could have a 24 hour challenge, in the time zone you are in as I am not sure how it plays out time wise. The moon is only visible for a few hours, not sure how many. It looks like the moon will be over the equator, and visible to everyone. It would appear closer to the ground, here in Alaska, and higher in the sky, say in Atlanta. As long as the actual moon is in the picture, it is acceptable I think. Right now, we have about 13 days, so a few days for other thoughts to get it all clear and in writing, so we all know what is happening and how. Then a few days to prepare or whatever. What are everyone's thoughts on this fun sounding contest?
A moon light world map, to let you know where it will be at what time. It is adjustable by date and time. I just found it a few minutes ago, so I am not sure what else it will do, or even if it is accurate. If it is not accurate, let me know and I will delete the link, or admins can. It may be a valuable tool for night photography as well, if it is accurate!
