Red Moon & Jupiter (August 6, 2009)

Wildfires burned today in Utah, and a strong west wind blew. The air smelled of smoke, and after running in it, I smelled of smoke, too. When the moon rose over the Wasatch front, it glowed red. Jupiter is already a bit red, and that was enhanced by the smoke and dust. This second image is a mosaic of three frames taken at 1600 ISO with the XTi through the AT66ED, balanced on a mailbox.
