Today is the spring full Flower Moon, the last Supermoon in 2020, which I have shot today in some foggy conditions in reflected ultraviolet photography using a special XNUV and the Baader-U UV filter. Lens was my very special 800mm LDM-1 KATOPTARON mirror only lens on my multispectral camera.

Indeed, the moon has UV reflectance and it can be recorded using proper equipment, which makes it nicely visible.
I have written about photographing the Moon previously HERE
Stay tuned, more will follow on that fascinating subject...
