Description

The Blue Super-Moon of August 2023I know i'm a bit early, but I will not have the ability to capture the 100% illumination tonight, so here is the Moon at 99.6 Compiled from 40,000 images taken from the patio at around 3am last night. The colors come from my use of RGB filters, as well as Infrared and narrow-bandpass filters. The Moon is usually seen in subtle shades of gray or yellow to our eyes, but these enhanced colors correspond to real differences in the chemical composition of the lunar surface. Mainly concentrations of Titanium, Iron and other varieties of volcanic glass.
