The rising of the almost exactly Full Moon on July 16, 2019, the 50th Anniversary of the launch of Apollo 11. The scene is looking over a green field of wheat for a minimalist landscape. A few hours before this moonrise, the Moon was partially eclipsed as seen over Europe, Africa and Asia, just about everywhere but here in North America. This is a single exposure with the Sony a7III through the A&M 80mm apo refractor at f/6 (for 480mm focal length), taken after I shot a 6-minute 4K video of the moonrise from horizon to this point. This is shot from the gravel pit hill south of home.
