The waxing crescent Moon in the colours of an evening twilight at Cape Conran, Gippsland Coast, Victoria, Australia, March 31, 2017. From West Cape and Salmon Rocks. The Moon is turned upside down compared to a northern hemisphere view, and looks like a morning waning Moon for northeners. Pink crepuscular rays diverge from the sunset point. This is a single frame from a 700-frame time-lapse sequence with the 35mm lens and Canon 6D on Auto Exposure.
An ice crystal halo around the waxing gibbous Moon, March 7, 2017, with the Moon below the twins stars of Castor and Pollux in Gemini. Orion is at lower right, Auriga at upper right, Leo at left. Sirius is the bright star above the trees. This is a stack of four exposures (10 second, 1 second, 1 second, 1/15 second, and 1/125 second) to preserve the sky and bright Moon, layered and blended with luminosity masks applied with ADP Panel Pro. Shot with the 12mm Rokinon fish-eye lens at f/2.8 and Nikon D750 at ISO 800.
A 300° panorama of the winter evening sky, January 12, 2017, with the Full “Wolf” Moon of mid-winter rising at left in the northeast, and Venus (brightest) and Mars (above) over in the southwest at right. Orion is rising in the east at centre, with Taurus above. The Big Dipper is at far left to the north. The remaining glow of twilight creates an arch of light in the southwest, while the rising Moon creates an arch of brighter sky at left. This was a very clear, transparent night but at -20° C. Note the glitter path on the snow from the Moon. I shot this from home in southern Alberta, using the Nikon D750 and 24mm Sigma Art lens. This is a stitch of 14 segments with generous overlap, stitched in Adobe Camera Raw.
