Details:
The moment of the Third Quarter Moon was at 11.21 pm LT (21.10 UT) on Thursday 1st July. Clear sky and good visibility to the east enabled the Third Quarter Moon to be caught rising above some trees on a hill in the Cecil Kop Nature Reserve at a quarter past midnight. The accompanying unusual 38 image time-lapse animation and mosaics show the exactly half illuminated Moon with horizontal terminator appearing, rising and then brushing past the top of a tall Eucalyptus tree visible to its left in the final composite of night and following morning views of the moonrise point. Considerable post-processing was required to exactly register and optimise the images which were taken in almost complete darkness using a hand-held Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS40 in manual exposure mode (f/6.4, 1/30 sec, ISO 400, x30 zoom) over a wall on a step ladder.
