There
            was plenty of smoke in the air over Payson today, the entire
            sky in fact was covered with a dense layer. The east was the
            only clear part of the sky, so when we found out that the moon
            rose only 15 minutes before the sunset, opportunity knocked!
            Look carefully at the moons image in the hi res versions, and
            you can see differential refraction.
