Full Moon Setting at Dawn

Clear sky with unusually good visibility to the southwest of Mutare early Monday 17th June provided a magnificent view of the Full Moon setting behind mountains near Chikanga Township dawn. It is unusual for the Moon to remain so clearly visible while descending behind a distant horizon as shown in the accompanying 16 frame mosaic compiled from images taken over a three minute interval from 6.10-6.13 am.
