For three consecutive days I have waited with the tripod the rise of the moon on Mt. Fravort. Only the first time I had perfect weather, but the moon was a bit too high; this is why it remains outside the present picture.
The third day (10-12-2011) the moon was supposed to rise at 16.35 with an azimuth of 57 degrees, that is, according to Udeuschle, somewhere in the depression between Cimon della Pala and Cimadasta, on the left side of this picture.
Unfortunately, neither the weather nor our luck are governed by Newtonian mechanics, and a cloud remained attached to the top all the time. When I declared defeat and began my retreat, 50 meter lower than the summit I had the luck to see the moon suspended right above Cimadasta, over a milky carpet of clouds. But this lasted only for an instant that was not enough to take any photographically significant initiative. I had only the time to notice a dark spot on the upper side - only later on I got to know that a partial lunar eclipse was in act.
The results of my three-day hunt for the moon are collected in https://picasaweb.google.com/albertopedrotti/LunaDicembre
