Details:
Yesterday a post to this gallery (id=135177) showed how on 27 April the Sun and young Crescent Supermoon set about an hour apart in almost exactly the same place on top of a tree-lined ridge to the north of Christmas Pass, Mutare. Careful post-processing of the first two pictures has enabled an animation (lead image) and overlay (second image) to be produced which shows not only how close the setting points were but also allows a comparison of their relative sizes to be made. The Crescent Supermoon, as its name would suggest, is not only larger than normal but if placed in front of the Sun would cover it with room to spare. Pictures three and four are the resized and registered versions of the images used for the comparison. The original photographs were taken using two Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ60 compact cameras in sunset scenery and manual time exposure modes.
