Details:
A colourful corona around the nearly Full Moon on April 10, as the Moon shone through low and fast-moving clouds wafting in from the sea. The water droplets in the clouds added the diffraction effect and coloured rings.
This was from the Cape Otway Lighthouse, on the Great Ocean Road in Victoria, Australia. Thus the Moon looks "upside-down" compared to a northern hemisphere view.
This is a stack of 6 exposures from short to long to record the fainter clouds without washing out the disk of the Moon itself.
