Once, or twice, a month we may get a good view of the Full Moon rising above Oracle Ridge in the Coronado National Forest in southern Arizona. Often, especially during Monsoon season, clouds obscure that view, as happened in this case on September 26, 2026. Fortunately for me the clouds were moving fairly rapidly and the view changed from no Moon to what you see here, ocotillos and a band of clouds silhouetting the Full Moon.
