The Sturgeon Moon was setting with the Earth’s shadow, and as it did the bright moon cast shadow bands.”
Gianluca Masi of the Virtual Telescope Project in Rome, Italy, captured the moon on August 26, 2018 and wrote: “With its light flooding the sky and covering everything else up there at night, the full moon is not the best friend of an astronomer, unless it offers something unique. Living in Rome, this happens often, as last night, when we saw the full moon rising above the Colosseum, an unforgettable view.” Read more.
August 25, 2018 moon from Terry Lee Smith, who wrote: “… smoky full moon in Tyhee, Idaho. Our air quality has been extremely poor for the past several weeks due to the numerous wildfires.” You’ll often see a red moon or sun low in the sky, but wildfire smoke is causing high red moons and suns across North America now.

He wrote: “Smoke haze from burning vegetation has for the past few days has been obscuring the moon while close to the horizon. This evening, there was an unusual full moonrise, with the moon shining through some trees and making them appear to burn before it emerged from them. The red glow in the first image (top left) was mistaken for fire until the moon appeared above it.” Hand-held Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ60 in sunset scene mode with up to x60 zoom magnification.

By using several photography settings and filters, the glare would subside and be reduced allowing the subtle colors and detailed features to come up. The digital post processing can then enhance colors and sharpen the image into this clarity.” Celestron SC 8″ with 6.3 focal reducer. Canon D 40 (full spectrum/modified) with set of filters. Multi frames with different settings stacked with RegiStax 6; processed, color enhanced and denoised with PS; GIMP2 and paint.net.
