Details:
On 11 October, a cloudless sky with just the right amount of low-level smoke haze from bush fires changed the color of the setting Sun from red to magenta from touch-down to disappearance behind some hills on the western horizon. Too much haze and the Sun would have faded from view before setting. Too little haze and it would have retained an orange-red color all the way down. In the accompanying mosaic, the Sun is almost pure magenta in most of a series of 54 photographs taken over a three minute interval using a tripod-mounted Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ60 compact camera in sunset scenery mode and maximum x60 zoom magnification. The fourth image shows the Sun before it had changed color to magenta. A time-lapse animation of the sunset has been posted at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pmLhZ2hwTbA
