Details:
While waiting for the full moon to set early this morning a beautiful dragon-shaped iridescent cloud developed above Murawa Mountain in Mutare. As with the sunset pair of bird-shaped iridescent clouds posted three days ago, it took less than two minutes for the spectacle to gather and disperse. Virgo's brightest star Spica is just visible above and to the right of the moon. The photograph was taken with a Panasonic Limix DMC-TZ60 compact camera on night scenery setting and x4 zoom.
