Well, the last 2 nights we've had nothing but heavy cloud cover so no Super Moon shots for me this go around. :(

So sorry about the skies being covered. Tonight should be good here, but I'm not sure I want to do this again.

I'm hoping for clear skies during the new moon. I want to try and get some Milkyway shots.

That sounds great. We're too close to DC, where the lights are bright as heck all the time. And I live in a rural area. Sad.

If the 'Super' in Supermoon was applied elsewhere:

...(hold a dime at arm's length and it should just cover the Full Moon when it's on the horizon. Then do it again 6 hours later, near midnight, when the Moon is high in the sky - and it is still just covered by the same dime.

Actually, the moon should be closer straight overhead, than it is on the horizon.

Yes, about 2% closer. Personally, I can't tell the difference.

Oh, I can't either. Just saying that while it appears closer/larger on the horizon, it's actually farther away, not the same distance.

Any idea how the Super-Mooners come up with it being 30% brighter ?

Yeah. Interesting. Thanks for the link.
One good thing about the Supermoon is that we haven't seen a "Mars as big as the moon" posting for a while. :)
