Apollo 50th is my 24th Flickr Explore Selection

Every day the Flickr photography website gets tens of millions of new images uploaded. They (algorithms are involved) select the 500 most interesting images to be featured in Flickr Explore. I'm very pleased to have my Apollo 50th Full Moon be my 24th astrophotograph selected for Flickr Explore.

Many of these are among my favorites. For some I prefer other images from myself and others on Flickr, but there is no winning an argument with a robot. Astrophotography is a pursuit that takes a lot of time and effort. I do it for my own enjoyment, but I have a quantitative bent and a healthy need for approval. Having images that are in some sense "one in ten million" images gives me confidence that my second act is worthwhile. I very much appreciate the feedback from those who view my images on Flickr, especially those who make suggestions for improvement.
