Bye Bye Supermoon

November 2016 Supermoon setting behind the

Waldo Canyon Fire Burn Scar as the Rocky Mountains glow red/orange from the morning sunrise

Colorado Springs, CO.

 

At 24 hours past its peak, I suppose this is no longer really a true "Supermoon", however it was a wonderful sight to watch as I started my day ...

 

Note: Having taken several photos shortly after moonrise the past couple of days, I also observed that the PoV changes between moonrise and moonset such that the moon appears to rotate more than 90 degrees during its travel across the sky. This explains why the orientation of the craters often appears so different between one moon photograph and another. :)
