So sorry about the wrong email address, thanks so much for pointing it
out. Didn't realize I had left the "z" out. I've also added an emailing
address to my signature file so maybe any I get will start with a PoV in
the subject line so I don't carelessly delete any incoming mail.
Anyway, back to the moon, not literally of course.
Yeah, the yellowish color looked fine to me. The color depends on so
many factors in reality anyway as you said. I'd place yours at 10
degrees above the horizon for a typical evening around here. But the
moonrise can be a deep orange-red and lunar eclipses any color of the
rainbow (less green, can't recall ever seeing a true green, cyan but not
green).
I figured yours must've been partially cloud-covered.
Obviously a photograph like you used is very well suited to this sort of
thing. I'm always thinking it must be a wrappable image_map on a 3D
sphere to be good and I'm wrong. Like I said before, think I'll get my
poster-sized photo digitized with the camera and apply it instead to see
how it works out. Thanks on 2 counts.
