Peso: a moon or not a moon?
what do you guys think about this ? I took it a little after 8 am in
Toronto on October 16th, 2010.. according to lunar calendar it can't be
an actual full moon.. and it would be setting not rising
but I thought I was facing east... what camera problem or lighting in
the sky could have created it? could there have been so much pollution
that it is the sun? I'm totally flummoxed..
shot with my Canon eos Digtal Rebel.. details next to the photo if you
click on the "i' .

Ideas? It got be crazy because of a non -photographers love of the shot
who thinks a got a perfect take of an etherial moon which made me look
up the lunar calendar.

Nice shot. Mysterious. I think it’s the moon. The sun would burn through much brighter.

That's not a moon!
It's a trap!
Admiral Akbar aside, I think it's some sort of lens flare.
On an APS you'd need to shoot at about 500mm to get the moon that size,
larger on FF. The exif says about 50mm, so unless you cropped it way
down, that wouldn't be the moon.

It’s a nice photo, but it might be just flare.
I have an app called The Photographer’s Ephemeris which can you tell you all sorts of sun and moon stuff at different places and times.
The screenshot in this link tells you what was happening on that bridge at 8.15 that morning.

so two votes it seems for lens flare .. as opposed to dew drop on lens.
I like that.
(by the time I posed to you guys i'd pretty much decided it wasn't a moon)

Not the moon. The view appears to be toward the Southeast, camera facing
south. At that time of day, a full moon or nearly full waning moon would
be close to setting and would be over your right shoulder at about 280° ...
The moon would be in that direction a little after midnight, but would
be higher in the sky, close to 55° above the horizon.
That looks like some kind of lens flare to me.

And on 16 October 2010 It was a "Waxing Gibbous" (71.13% Visible) moon;
rose at 3:18 PM and set at 1:24 AM, so not visible from Toronto at just
after 8:00 AM.

Ann,
So you weren't able to moon us this time, I have every bit of faith of
you being able to rectify that when you put your mind to it.
