DEC 29TH - WAXING CRESCENY MOON IN RED SKY

[paulastro]

Out to catch the Moon again late afternoon.  There was a strikingly red and hazy sky after sunset,.  It made the sky look rather strange, almost like a painting.

Took some pics with the SW80ED and Olympus camera.  All pics taken between 4.16 and 4.25 pm.  Moon 3.47 days old and 12.1% Illuminated.

Nice images Paul. I like them all but I particularly like the second one with the dark clouds beneath the moon. There's just something sexy about it!

Beautiful pictures, indeed. Here in the Canary Islands we get this everytime there is a calima (a kind of dust haze that comes from the Sahara desert), but usually you notice it more around The Sun. Maybe you are getting some of this dust up there as well.
