Equipment Details:

Tripod-mounted Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ60 in sunset mode

Post-processing Details:

Photoshop Elements 15 - crop, register, size reduce and overlay two photographs taken six months apart to produce three frame composite image.

Image Details:

July Full Moon sets close to December Solstice Sun.
This composite image shows that the 5th of July full Moon set just to the right of last December's summer solstice Sun. It would appear that in the southern hemisphere the mid-winter full Moon almost follows the high path of the summer solstice Sun.
