Today is China's Mid-Autumn Festival(中秋節) and the full moon closest to the autumnal equinox, known in the West as the Harvest Moon. The Mid-Autumn Festival symbolizes the full moon and people coming together, making it a holiday for family reunions. At the same time, today's moonrise coincides with the full moon. Although there were some clouds in Taipei, I was lucky enough to record the rising trajectory of the full moon. The sky background in the photo was taken immediately after the moon's trajectory ended, but at this time there were some clouds drifting over from low altitude. Therefore, when the moon trajectory and the sky background are overlaid, it looks like the moon is in front of the clouds. This is actually the result of the shooting time difference between the moon trajectory and the sky background.

Canon EOS 6D + Tamron 70-300mm Lens

Use Sequator156 to stack consecutive photos of the moon and the sky background. The moon shooting time is from 6:06 pm to 6:29 pm, with an interval of 2 minutes and 20 seconds between each moon.
