As Cyclone Fehi Auckland moves closer towards past midnight then early morning the umbra moves closer as hides the Luna Rosa..
As you can see the Cyclone Fehi’s clouds moves closer to hide, gate crash the Supermoon red blue Lunar Eclipse..
As the Supermoon is cased by the Earth Shadow Umbra.. slowly seen in the Cyclone Fehi Auckland skies..
During the Cyclone Fehi Auckland Night it was a long wait, as looking for breaks in between the cyclone clouds to photograph..

As the Supermoon rises from behind the hill embankments of One Tree Hill, in which the moon is closes towards the Planet earth in its elliptical orbit calling it Apogee, as the apogee moon rise from the horizon the image of the moon is magnified due to the heavy thick Atmospheric layering at the horizon in which increase the image of the moon, than from as it moves towards a higher angle of in the night sky in which it reduced magnification due to the thin atmosphere layer ….. As on the on the other side of hemisphere in Already Tomorrow in Hong Kong, the Hong Kong Space Museum staging various events around Hong Kong one of many in nearby in Tsim Sha Tsui,  Kowloon Park, also Sha Tin also in Central on Hong Kong Island, with very great clear viewing  weather conditions than of Auckland..

During that onwards towards midnight it the building up of cyclone Fehi clouds started to concentratingly to nomadically increase only to have slightly teasing selectively of viewing the moon as it transition from the earth shadows umbra starting the cast on the Luna Shadow slowly, as it was gate crashing the moments of looking transiting moon,  towards the Luna Rosa.. In which as it gathered upwards to that moment it wasn’t possible to watched as the rain decide to gate crash the event.. Nor to photograph even further… like packing your troubles in that  first  Yosemite night time campfire scene from Star Trek V- The Final Frontier where Captain Kirk, Doctor McCoy’s, Captain Spock camping trip was interrupted ….

It was only 20th September 2017 when the moon Luna was at New moon in which the Earth Shadow totally veiling Luna’s lacy embroidery Wedding dress in which on a rural still night sky you can see the light grey new moon in a country side, rural sections of Auckland, New Zealand.. You can see and make out with her seeing her grey darkish outline shade of the moon..  As today on the 2nd October 2017 keyboarding at the moment it’s eighty seven percent in which the full moon sits on just in time for the Mid-Autumn festival around the Asian Communities in which happen to fall between the 3rd to 6th October 2017 in which 6th October is the FullMoon..in ready to be festive in Already Tomorrow In Hong Hong 

only two nights ago from the new moon..
Mare Crisium
As the new moon rises out from the with the waxing gibbous making way for the Full Moon on the 6th October..
those craters could encompass cities..
Mare Crisium among it you can see the outline of the moon in show the surface layering of the along the edge..

As the new moon unveil as the terminator moves away from the moon, in which reveals slowly the crescent in which shows an interesting unique feature in which outlines the highlighted silhouettes around the circumference in which you can see the moon surface isn’t so smooth textured.. In which you can see the cratering mountainingly heights… Of how depths of the shadows in which as you watched the terminator transiting as the Earth Shadow  you’ll see more of the Luna surface also some interesting shadows casted  alongside its indention from getting from longer to shorter.. As the moon become more full the craters shadows become least apparent… In which sort of hides away the interesting crevices crater embroidery lacy features of how the deep it is…

Progressively watching the moon going from the New Moon from unique, also its timeless due to the nature it’s not going to be the same as it comes around again relating to that relatable of that same experiences…  as each cycle goes in circle a new story chapter begins..

Looking at the moon tonight only a few days from waxing Gibbous from New Moon… she begins to unveil her lacy terminator veil… in which revealing her white lacy dress with few featured Mare, like Iridium  also slowly…. Among the tonight’s features is the circumference is that you still see the outline it’s never smooth but, see the contours of the moon of how high those crater mountain silhouettes are, could block our cities striving for light…  Even though it was clouded chiffon misty.. in which misty chiffon clouds do help in lowering the light intensity in viewing more of the finer details of the cratered embroidery work of how lacy contoured tell their stories..
