Night Moonset behind Mt. Washington

Moonset behind Mt. Washington · 07:54 AM

I snapped this shot last year from Pittsburgh's North Side, looking South across the rivers as the Moon set behind Mt. Washington's inclined railway station.

Impressive huge moon compared to the building. Great shot, thanks for sharing.

I have a very sturdy tripod with a large weight limit that I usually use for astrophotography. It can handle the unbalanced weight of the 300mm attached to the camera, as long as I don't bump it while it is exposing.

Quite the placement of the moon.

I saw it approaching the hilltop, and had to rush to a spot where it would line up with the buildings so I could snap this before it went down.
