Double-moon?

Mooning moon !

[werny]

You do know the size doesn't change?

Its just perspective that make it seems as if the the size shift as it moves away from the horizon.

Oh OK, didn't know that, i'm not a moon expert it seems.

All good, only thing that can make it bigger so to speak, is distance from the earth, and yes this does change hence tonights supermoon event

Its not the closest its ever been, that was in the beginning of the year if I remember correctly, but its still dam close + full moon.

Bit of a sience lessen for those that dont know

Both the earth and moon's orbits are eliptical and bar this they both wobble, it's not like its a set path like train rails.
Earth's elliptical orbit varies from about 152,171,522 km to 149,597,870.691 km

As for the moon, a picture = a thousand words:

I wonder if there is any Pro's on call

I wanna learn how to take photo's that shows the moon

So would love to know what settings you need to change and way

How it looks currently here by me



Oh and I have a 75-300mm 1.4-5.6 lense for close ups, ie: cutting the buildings out when needed.

But when was this taken? Tonights supermoon is a full moon.

Oops! I spotted that a bit late. Removed the offending pic of a different moon phase...

Thanx, I did come right...

Canon 450D - F 5.6 - 1/500 - ISO 100 - With 300 mm

[antowan]

Note that it will be at its peak at 05h35 tomorrow morning South African time! And it should be just on the Western horizon giving you an optical boost in terms of size...

If my reading is right...
