You are very welcome. Thank you for your kind words.

You are quite correct it does require a lot of patience and dedication sometimes. You have to keep aware of the phases of the Moon. New Moon is the best time to shoot, but you can shoot other times, you have to wait till the moon sets, or finish before it rises.

You have to be willing to drive several hours to someplace dark even if the weather is iffy, and hope to get a break in the clouds long enough to get a few shots.

When it all comes together though, it is worth it.
