A Harvest Moon. A supermoon. A partial lunar eclipse.

Pittsburgh’s sky was full of celestial magic Tuesday night, and it was all captured by local photographer Dave DiCello.

Despite cloud coverage, DiCello held onto his patience and waited for the clouds to lighten up, he wrote on a Facebook post where he shared the photos.

“Finally the moon reached an area of thinner clouds over the city just before the max eclipse, and I ran around downtown for a frantic 15 minutes capturing as many views as I could.

“These are a combination of multiple exposure images to compensate for both the moon and clouds, and single exposures to highlight the eclipse.”

The Harvest Moon is the full moon that occurs closest to the fall equinox, according to the Old Farmer’s Almanac. The broad definition of a supermoon, the Almanac says, is when a new or full moon happens when the moon is closest to Earth in its orbit. A lunar eclipse occurs when the moon passes through Earth’s shadow, casted by the sun.

DiCello has been shooting Pittsburgh since 2006. He recently captured the Northern Lights above the Steel City, which have appeared multiple times in fewer than three months.
