Full moon in Wisconsin, USA.

The moon had a yellow/orange tint to it, due to the humid air and smoke from the western forest fires. I adjusted the white balance to remove some of the tint.

 

The Tycho crater is very prominent in the south, and Mare Tranqillitatis (Sea of Tranquillity) is just to the right of center. The southern edge of that is the site of the Apollo 11 moon landing.

 

Shot with a 1.4x teleconverter, then cropped the photo.
