Re: [APML]the moon

>    I set up last full moon to take some full moon shots, only to curse this cold front and clouds moving through... I was about to go back in the house when all of a sudden this image opened up ... I ran back down to the 4" f/8 and for thirty seconds captured the image... then just as quickly, it was gone! I have read how Ansel Adams felt when he saw "Moonrise over Hernandez..."... well, this is "Sierra Moonrise."

It looks like ice crystals in the clouds made for a 'pillar' light formation above and below the moon.  I see this more often in the mountains than at low elevations.
 
Thanks for the image!
