Moonrise - Full moons are more interestin near the horizon.

Both images are excellent

I have some doubt: is moon perfectly spherical?
In the city moon image, one part of the moon( that is near to the building) appear to be more flat; is this so?

Regards

I seem to recall the shape of the moon described as an oblate spheroid (ie, slight flattening at the poles) but I believe the effect is too small to really see. Pretty much all the distortion we see caused by the Earth's atmosphere. I once watched an airlines pass in front of a full moon, and the disturbance of the air stream was very obvious against the face of the moon - unfortunately, I didn't have a camera pointed in the right direction to catch this.

Try using the little app I linked to and set yourself up where you can catch the moon rising or setting, either close to full, or to new. below is one which was very new...
