Details:
In the first photograph, the July 5th Full Moon, with slight penumbral eclipse shadow on the lower right quadrant, is about to set behind the summit of Hospital Hill at 6.24 am. Of additional interest is that this full Moon and the almost full Moon the previous day set just to the right (second image) and left (third image) of the summer solstice sunset point in December 2019. It would appear that from the Southern Hemisphere the mid-winter full Moon almost follows the high path of the summer solstice Sun. Camera: Tripod-mounted Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ60 with x60 zoom magnification.
