A special thanks to Emily S. for her help setting this shot up. This is a forced perspective shot using a santa + reindeer holiday decoration about 4ft long. To get this shot, the santa model was hung from wire ~40ft above my telescope (and hundreds/thousands ft away). Using SkySafari, I lined up the position of the Moon (and Jupiter) with the model and was able to obtain this pano image with little processing.
