This composite image is primarily intended to observe the green rim on the upper edge of the moon and lunar crater mirages when the moon is almost on the horizon. On November 17th, due to being close to the first quarter moon, the meteorite craters between the illuminated and dark portions of the moon were very pronounced. We could precisely observe various effects of atmospheric refraction through the images of these craters. Around 11:32 PM on that night, when the moon's altitude was less than 1 degree, the effects caused by atmospheric refraction were very evident. One notable effect was the distinct green rim appearing along the upper edge of the moon. Additionally, the shapes of the moon's meteorite craters were continuously changing, sometimes clear, and sometimes disappearing. A video capturing the continuous changes in the craters as the moon sets can be found here: https://youtu.be/BneSV5vWBFI. Through the video, you can also observe mirages continuously appearing below the moon, and eventually, the real and virtual images of the moon overlap, causing a deformation in the shape of the lunar mare!
