Equipment Details:

Shot on a Nikon P1000, handheld.

Post-processing Details:

The only thing I did with a slight sharpen in picmonkey.com, the actual color of the moon was not altered.

Image Details:

The moon appeared very red as it rose from the treeline in my backyard. I assume it's because of California wildfire smoke resting high in the atmosphere.
