Description:
Last night's Strawberry Supermoon at about 11:30 pm, just as the clouds moved in along the coast. The full moon was at its closest point to the Earth for this orbit at 4:24 p.m. PDT yesterday afternoon, and was close enough to be considered a Supermoon, making it the second one of 2022. As the lowest full moon of 2022, it reached only 23.3 degrees above the horizon, and it looked very low in the sky -- upstairs window level at our house! Image is a stack of forty-five 0.01 sec exposures at Unity gain through my 85 mm Takahashi refractor.
