Description:
Last night's full moon, and the last Super Moon of 2022, was exactly full at 6:36 pm PDT. This image (a stack of 32 1/500th sec exposures at ISO 100 through a 300 mm Canon F5 lens on a Canon Eos 760D camera -- processed in Pixinsight 1.8.9) was taken at 10:00 pm, just as the moon cleared the clouds. All the full moons have names. Popular ones for the August full moon include the Corn Moon and Sturgeon Moon. The name Sturgeon Moon recognizes the August peak of the sturgeon fish catch in the waters of North America’s Great Lakes. Should be pretty full tonight, as well, and the bright planet lurking near the moon is Saturn, which reaches opposition later this week.
