Follow up to my earlier post “Supermoon (almost)”. My attempt to capture the full 2011 “supermoon”. Taken with a Nikon D7000, 18-200mm lens, and a tripod. Settings were ISO 100, f/8.0, 1/320 second exposure.

The photo is great! And we had very cloudy day yesterday and today too in Kiev, Ukraine, so we couldn’t see it although a couple of days ago the sky was clear and the moon was beautiful:)
Did you take it from the same angle as the previous shot? Comparing this with your previous shot shows that the moon rotated (or we did) – unless I’m mistaken.
The previous shot was done around 9pm with the moon low in the sky, and the newer shot was done around 2am with the moon at its highest point in the sky, so that’s my best guess as to why they are different.
I know you were anticipating clouds last night, but by doing your Supermoon (almost) post you not only had a great title, but you were way ahead of everybody else!
I see that not only is your full version tilted differently to the previous one, but ours in the South Hemisphere is the other way around. I was just comparing the pattern of craters etc. Which I suppose makes sense.
Like the photo! I am really interested with all this stuff with the moon. Sometimes it effects me so much!
Oh my. Stunning. Congrats, you did a good job Mister.
Very nice! A much closer more detailed moon than I saw with the naked eye.
Wow, great shot! It was rather cloudy down here in Oregon 😦 Thanks for sharing and letting us (or at least me) see the supermoon vicariously!
I’m jealous, we had heavy cloud cover on the night of the supermoon, I was hoping to use your settings down here in Australia.
