Snow Moon rising over the Fred Lawrence Whipple Observatory

The native American tribes in the USA have named the full moons. February's is the Snow Moon. Here it is rising over the Fred Lawrence Whipple Observatory as seen from Amado, Arizona, USA. www.sao.arizona.edu/FLWO/whipple.html

 

In the wide view the 6.5 meter telescope is on the summit and the lesser telescopes are to the right of the moon. The narrow view shows the group of smaller telescopes, antennas, and buildings which are down off the summit.

 

I used a preset film simulation in my X-T3, the Fred Herzog Kodachrome V1 simulation by Mark G Adams modified a bit in Fuji RAW Studio.
