Super Moon!

The moon is closest to the earth now! We hoped we would be able to see it tonight and sure enough the sky was clear. For some reason the moon was the color you see here. Could be what is in the atmosphere is influencing the color. I don't care, I think it is pretty that way. Shot with D3 in DX mode.

LOL!! I see the face in the moon!! I agree.......what a beautiful moon it has been the last 2 nights here! :)

Wow that is an orange moon. I was looking at it this evening here too thinking it was yellower than the night before. I guess that is because it suddenly warmed up.

Excellent capture, Vern. Probably that color as it's still low and reflecting off the sun.

It was white here in Idaho, had a great view of it above the mtns. but then it turned the same color you have in yours.

I didn't get to see the moon until it was up sort of high, so no color like this. It sure was bright though when I did see it. That should have been good for Aaron getting Moonbows shots.

The colour is amazing, sadly no sightings for use weve had a month or more of rain and clouds. V
