Ahh, you got the weather I didn't.  About half a year ago I shot a high-rez
image of the moon showing the shadow across the south rim during full moon.
I wanted to do the same with shadow across the north in order to get the
opposite
"tilting" libration.  It was technically clear here, but there was so much
haze the moon
actually looked eclipse orange.

Good shot.

Here is my opposite tilt full moon from January...
