“It is a beautiful and delightful sight to behold the body of the Moon.” (Galileo Galilei, The Starry Messenger) I borrowed a longer lens to capture the Beaver Moon. Since we have trees and houses all around I could only get the moon higher in the sky. The image on the left is the rising moon from last night and the image on the right is the moon setting this morning. I like how you can see evidence of the moon's rotation comparing these two images.
Are you sure about this. I don't think the moon rotates this way. I suspect that the picture on the left was taken in landscape mode and the picture on the right was taken in portrait mode. You might want to check on that.
Nevertheless, these are great shots of the moon.
My bad. I checked with an astronomer friend of mine who assured me that the morning and evening moons can very well look this way. My apologies!!
