Details:
This is the Full Moon of June 10, 2025, a Moon that was especially low as the Moon was at its most southerly declination of ~5º below the ecliptic at this time, at a "major lunar standstill" or lunistice, a position it reaches only once every 18.5 years. However, the Moon was still rising when I took this and was not at its highest due south yet.
The Moon is deeply yellow due to forest fire smoke in the air from fires in northern Alberta and B.C. This was also the Full Moon known popularly as the Strawberry Moon.
This was from home in southern Alberta at 51º latitude.
Technical:
This is a blend of two exposures: 8s for the sky and 1 second for the Moon to preserve detail in its disk, all with the RF70-200mm lens at 135mm and f/4 on the Canon R5 at ISO 800.
