Photographer Nicholas D’Alessandro captured this incredible photo of a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launching in front of the full moon.
D’Alessandro used a Canon R5 with a Sigma 150-600 lens and a 2x teleconverter to achieve a 1200mm optical zoom.
“A rocket enthusiast and programmer named Declan Murphy made a breakthrough for rocket photographers in recent years by developing an app called Flight Club that overlays any upcoming launch trajectory with the features of the sky in predictive real time and even what your frame will look like based on the camera equipment info you enter,” he says.
“The Moon would be increasingly full and rising lower on the horizon as the days got closer to launch. The weather was also beautifully clear for the next several days,” he explains.
