Details:
The Harvest Moon of September 24, 2018 in thin clouds and above a field of hay bales in southern Alberta.
The rows of bales run east-west and due east is at left here down the row where I am standing. The Moon came up just south of east this night, despite being only 2 days past the equinox and almost exactly Full. That was due to its position south of the ecliptic by about 5°.
Had the Moon been truly opposite the Sun it would have been on the ecliptic and risen more due east. But then we also would have had some type of lunar eclipse! We don't get that until the night of January 20/21.
This is a single exposure, 1/8 second at f/11, and ISO 400 with Canon 6D MkII and 135mm lens.
