Close View of "Almost" Harvest Moon

"Almost" because the actual full moon was one day earlier.

Impressively clear capture, Laura. Well done!

Steve - Yup, that is true. But the Harvest Moon tends to be orange regardless of nearby fires - caused by what they call a "low hung" moon this time of year, and the clouds and dust give it the orange color. But can definitely heightened though by wildfire smoke, I'm sure.

Very strong orange color.

Tycho showing up well, and a touch of the mountains at the top.

Marvelous capture of the moon with that orange glow :)

Sometimes the wildfires we have do something good! The smoke in the skies from Yosemite and up north are giving us such great colors at sunset.
