Supermoon setting in the west

1/80 f/6.3 at 250.0mm iso400

This was taken from our back yard as the moon was setting this morning

On June 23rd 2013 the moon will be at its closest point to Earth — called perigee.
This relatively close brush will happen as the moon enters its fullest phase,
creating the cosmic coincidence known as the supermoon.
At its fullest and closest, the moon will appear about 12 percent larger in the sky.



Canon EOS Rebel T3i ,Sigma 18-250mm F3.5-6.3 DC OS HSM Macro
1/80 f/6.3 at 212.0mm iso400

Both pics are superb, I think I favour the first because of the wispy thin cloud at the top of it. Great work miffed I didn't get out to see it.

These are amazing and detail captures. Makes up for not being able to see it myself. V.

Truely fab shots! It's been too cloudy to see the moon at all from here so I'm very envious.

These two are superb. To be able to have a view like yours and to take this from the convenience of home is wonderful. I envy you on both counts. "vVv"
