Thanks Cloud_Cover. Unfortunately I was working that night and I heard it was cloudy. The following was Blue Moon + 1 day later.

This is the actual blue Moon date. I took it on 31 August. The sky was very cloudy.

Hi kimo,
Thanks for sharing the "Blue Moon". Didn't expect it to be "blue" but on second thought we may have micro-sized haze particles on that night

It was taken during my camera testing. i didn't know that day was the BLUE MOON DAY. here most of time upto 20deg remain cloudy because here got huge jungle. moon image were captured alt arround 10 to 15deg at that time. you can see it was not properly focused. i didn't pay attention on focusing it properly.
