Looking like it should be much closer to the horizon, the almost full moon last night was tinted distinctively yellow. Like the green lunar cheese is really Cheddar. The reason, of course, is smoke particles from the catastrophic California Firestorms filter out blue moonlight, thus making the moon look yellowish. This was the color of the moon when Damsel mentioned it in her post about the smoky sun.
I took this photo last night using my little Canon A710IS on a mini tripod. Click for a closer view.
By the way, tonight, no matter where you are, if you have clear skies, you should go out and look at the full moon at perigee.
