Do you prefer a full moon or a star lit sky at night?
I'm planning a trip to Tahoe for next fall. We like planning early so we can figure out our expenses and to have a goal to shoot for during the year. We plan to go to Tahoe for about two weeks or so. While on this trip we hope to get permits for Lake Aloha in the Desolation Wilderness. We're going to use Aloha as a base camp for a couple of nights, then make a loop back out. Since permits are required we need to dial in our dates. We can go during the week and the boat shuttle probably won't be running, so hopefully there is a smaller crowd. I did a quick search and saw the full moon was on Sept 20th. So I thought this would work good for reflections off of the lake. Then while on the iPad I ran across some images of a star li't night from Aloha. Awesome photos that now have me wanting to go during the new moon at the beginning of the month. That might have an advantage of warmer nights.
So how do I pick?
Full moon or stars?
