Description:

This week's full moon...clouds kept me from shooting it for about 24 hours past its fullest. All full moons have popular nicknames. January’s full moon is called the Wolf Moon because – in parts of the world where they live – wolves are active in January and often howl on cold nights. Image is a stack of 856 frames from a 60 second video.
