Details:
Perfectly clear skies on Friday 30th May, provided very good views of the late afternoon Sun setting at 4.55 pm followed by the Waxing Crescent Moon descending in a colorful volcanic sunset from 5.27 to 6.15 pm. The accompanying timelapse animation and montage include 20 still images selected from 199 taken from a vantage point in my back garden. It provides an almost complete record of the transition from sunset to the development and fading of early and late volcanic sunset twilight arches produced by aerosols still lingering in the stratosphere. The views are enhanced by the descending 16% illuminated Waxing Crescent Moon which becomes clearer and brighter as darkness approaches. In some of the final images the Gemini stars Castor beneath Pollux are visible below the Moon. Camera: Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS40 in sunset and manual exposure modes.
