If you are going to be away from light pollution for the Harvest Moon then Islay is better than London. I’m not sure which I like more – the bright fullness of the moon or the impenetrable thick blackness of the night sky.
The moon itself seemed to have stars within it.

I love how you can see the profile of the craters on
the right side of the moon in the second picture!
Thanks Jill – it took a long time to get the detail right due to camera-shake!
