"Sturgeon" Moon 2015

Red Hue from Smoke in Atmospthere.

Actual color. Not quite as red as one night in June http://www.pbase.com/britestar/image/160600131
But still definitely very strong reddish tones

Waning Gibbous 98% Full Moon following the August 2015 Super Moon event.

"North American fishing tribes called August's full moon the sturgeon moon since the species was abundant during this month. It's also been called the green corn moon, the grain moon, and the red moon for the reddish hue it often takes on in the summer haze." Nat Geo
