I will have to go out and try to get a good pic if conditions warrant. Here's one from a few years back I took with my 600mm.
Steve thanks for posting this,as I did not know about the "super moon". Most probably think that if I told you,that astrological events can sometimes have dramatic effects on psychology effecting stock markets. My Mom always knew when there was a "full moon",the nuts would come out,she was a waitress and worked graveyard.
You are right. As mentioned in the article...
We can thank this for our 24 hour days because before this, Earth's days were only 6 hours in duration.
That particular shot was at:
f/11, 1/200th, iso 200 when I shot it. If I did it today I probably would bump the iso to 400 and then double the shutter speed to 1/400th.
A great shot! I can't get a shot that good with my limited gear, but one day (hopefully)...
Thanks guys. You can even get cool shots of the moon in the early morning with blue sky...

The MOON
I saw it last evening; 'Live' just after waking up over the horizon. ...Incredible, and huge! :b
* ...Not a single cloud in the sky here; last evening/night at that time.
And tonight, this evening should be the exact same (perfect sky).
NOTE: It is when she first shows up just over the horizon that she is the largest.

Last evening (9:15 PM exactly) here, the 'SuperFullMoon' was fantastic again!
...Clear skies; just perfect! :b
* I wish sometimes I was in the Sahara desert.

^^^ To me, that is a very cool shot. Both of them posted in this thread do photography and the art thereof justice IMO.
