This short video incorporates time-lapse sequences and still image composites of the rising Harvest Moon of 2020, on September 30 and October 1, evenings when the Moon looked equally full.
On both nights I set up a the same site near home in Alberta, looking east. On October 1, the Moon in fact rose due east down the rural road.
Note how refraction distorts the disk of the Moon while atmospheric absorption reddens the disk toward the horizon. This was especially the case on October 1 when smoke and dust made the rising Moon look very red, almost like it was in total eclipse.

TECHNICAL:
All were taken through an 80mm aperture f/6 apochromatic refractor for a focal length of 480mm and with a Canon 6D MkII. Exposure times were fixed, as lengthening the exposure to accommodate the darkening sky and ground lead to the the lunar disk becoming overexposed.
Exposures were every 2 seconds. The raw files from each sequence were processed in Adobe Camera Raw but using LRTimelapse to create a smooth transition between keyframes and to perform deflickering. Video editing was in FinalCut in 4K, though retaining the 2:3 aspect ratio of the original DSLR frames
The frames for the two still-image composites were taken 2 minutes apart, so selected from every 60 frames out of the sequence. I stacked those images in Photoshop and blended them with Lighten mode. The ground comes from the first image in the set when the sky and ground were brightest.
