Tonight's Orange Moon

Yes. Orange.

This is not a trick photo. This is the actual color of the moon tonight over the upper Midwest due to smoke high in the atmosphere from the wildfires in western Canada.

I saw a full blood red moon a couple of months back, never posted it as the quality was very bad.
This is sooc, just a little noise reduction was done.

Wow guys, save those for Halloween!
How about tonight's 'Bethlehem Star' , the 2 bright stars looking like 1 star? Any tips?

Wow, that is really beautiful, Sparky, although the cause of that gorgeous color is not so beautiful.

No idea WHAT color the moon was here, as it was hidden by all the storm clouds.

I was wondering last night what was causing the color.
