Tonight's nearly full (97%) orangish moon rises above the Banker's Hill neighborhood of downtown San Diego on January 12, 2020. Appropriate for Banker's Hill, the building to the left with the white & purple lighting is the Manchester Financial building. I believe the mountains in the middle that the moon is rising over are Mount Laguna and/or the various mountains in Cuyamaca. To the right, illuminated in orange, the dome is the Old Globe Theatre and the taller building is the famous California Tower in Balboa Park. Shot with a Canon EOS R and Sigma 150-600mm Contemporary lens at 1/5 sec f/6.3 ISO 800 562mm.
Nearly full moon - fairly obscured by clouds - rising behind a weather vane atop the historic Junipero Serra Museum building in San Diego. I like how this weather vane even has the California grizzly bear logo on it. Shot with a 600mm lens. I didn't get the shot I really wanted due to the clouds - there were only a few VERY short windows - literally a few seconds each - where the moon pierced through the clouds. Anyways, I hope to have better shots and will provide more info sometime tomorrow night.
Shot from the Cabrillo National Monument at 5:19 PM tonight January 10, 2020 with a Canon EOS R and Sigma 150-600mm lens at 335mm. Check out the nice reflection on the water. I attended a special evening event at the park where we were allowed to remain in the park past the normal sunset closing time.
