This is a widefield shot of a 98.33% full Moon near Castor (upper left), Pollux (lower left), and Saturn (lower-right). Castor and Pollux are the two brightest stars in the constellation of Gemini, The Twins. Mouse-over the image above to see annotations and to see the outline of the Gemini constellation. This is a composite of a stack of 1" exposures for the background stars and Saturn, and a stack of 1/125" exposures of the Moon. Compositing was done in Photoshop. Zenith is up (North is roughly in the direction of the line connecting the Moon to Castor).
