One more look at the Cold Moon

The full moon occurred yesterday (05 Dec), but on Friday night it was still 98% illuminated.  These images were captured with Olympus cameras and an AT80EDT refractor and a Laowa 7.5mm f/2 lens. 

Cold Moon encore over Snowshoe Mountain, 05 Dec.


There were some thin clouds visible near the northern horizon, but it didn't look like they would be a problem.  This is how it looked at the beginning of a planned 2-hr star-trail exposure:

Laowa 7.5mm, 10 sec.

 Some clouds moved in less than an hour later, so I ended the exposure at 54 min.  The moving clouds add an unusual element to the composition.
