18 Oct 2023 Moonrise: Cathy
Great images from Cathy from our group outing to Coronado’s Bayview Park for moonrise over San Diego.
28 Oct 2023 Meetup: Coronado Moonrise Photo Shoot
Several photographers from the UCSD Photography Interest Group met-up at Bayview Park to photograph the full moon rising over San Diego. The weather cooperated and it was a fairly clear evening and sunset. Some atmospheric haze was visible in the distance but overall the San Diego Skyline was clear. The moon rose towards the south bay so its position was not ideal for a shot of the taller buildings. It rose over Petco Park and the San Diego Convention Center.
Ideal photographic conditions of blue hour and the moon only lasted ~15mins. It will be interesting to see the variety of photos taken. There’s only so much you can do but post-processing can make a difference.

28 Oct 2023: Full Moon Rise at Sunset, San Diego
There will be a full moon rising over the San Diego Skyline ~6pm Saturday Oct 28th. Cathy proposed a meetup to photograph this event. I entered some different spots into the Photographer’s Ephemeris webpage and grabbed some projections for potential locations. Some members of the Photography Interest Group are already pretty familiar with such locations. But these projection should give us a good idea where the moon will rise so we can set up at an ideal location.

Harbor Island East (looks too far north for a skyline moonrise)
Coronado Bayview Park
Coronado Ferry Landing – this has already been proposed so check out the moonrise projection
Coronado Bridge Viewpoint – not ideal for a skyline shot but including the bridge might be interesting
Hotel Del Coronado – alternative to San Diego Skyline, moon rising over the Hotel Del
