Pre-Lunar Eclipse Full Moon - High Clouds and a Ring Around the Moon

(download)

Clouds are moving in to my viewing area (Brewster, NY) of the big lunar eclipse of 2010. The clouds are producing a haze over the moon and a very big ring. Using my Canon PowerShot SD1000 Digital ELPH camera, I attempted to capture the ring around the moon. I used both standard settings and custom settings to product these images. The real grainy shots are ISO 1600, 800 and 400. When the ISO gets to 80 the rings all but disappear. Enjoy.
