Moon & Mercury over the astronomical Jadran
On 29 Sept., 2016, a wonderful morning celestial meeting of Moon and Mercury appeared over
Mali Lošinj, Croatia, with two small islands
Kozjak (the big one in the center of image) and
Sveti Petar island (partially visible on right) of northern
Adriatic sea. The place is well known for
historical Manora Observatory, founded in the end of 19th century by
Leo Brenner, after who was named
crater on the Moon. Such a symbolic moment with the colors of dawn made the view really magical.
Used Canon 6D Baader IR modified, Pentacon 135mm, f3.2, ISO 2000, 22×2 seconds panorama from tripod.
