Theres a big moon on the rise

[timbo614]

There's not going to be any moon-gazing done from here tonight, super or otherwise,
rock solid cloud

*Note to all you budding photographers: A full moon is very bright and is also moving quite quickly, so no long exposures. 1/200th of a second at 200 ISO is fine.

This one is hand held with a 400mm lens.

That's a nice pic morturn, wish I'd have taken that. Thanks.

Once again, can't see a flipping thing 'ere, except for a dull glow through the murk sometimes.

For those that can't see the Moon for the clouds, take comfort and try this reliable test.

First, Relax. Take a deep breath and calm your thoughts.

Now.

Release the anxieties of the day and look closely at this picture. Closer. Concentrate.

Concentrate on the finger.

I know sod all about the moon apart from its made of cheese but can anyone tell me what the VERY bright round craters/dots/circle doodahs you can see on the photo in various places? I have a few shots taken years ago and amazed at seeing the craters but always wanted to know the above.
Cheers

An old quote, but for Naz...
"That's no moon.."

Does this mean I MIGHT stand a chance of seeing it (yob 1945)??????????

Will you sign up to that "YES" please?

It's a YES from me. I wasn't quite correct in my explanation. After reading a bit more about it seems that the moon is always on an elliptical orbit but that orbit "wobbles" a bit and, indeed, the moon was the closest it has been for 70 years, although the difference between this supermoon and the normal monthly close pass is only a, relatively, few kilometres.

Thanks for that whiskywill

I look forward to seeing it
