Although, (for us in the UK) given the weather over here, it may not be as impressive as it could be! This one's a bit special with the moon closer to earth than at any time in the last 20 years....so grab your cameras and be at the ready!  |

As you say the weather doesn't really seem as though it'll cooperate at the moment but thanks for the heads up!

Thanks Sam! Our weather is dismal at the moment, heavy rain and low cloud, so here's hoping that it improves by tonight because I would like to get a photograph this time!

I'm not holding my breath that we'll have great moon viewing weather either.

Awesome! It is really clear here on the West Coast of Canada. I will go for a long walk tonight and admire the moon's brightness!

interesting that there is so much moon visual attraction right now. There'll be another blood moon in mid Sept also!
It's clear here so I'll attempt a pic but I just have a small Fuji camera. I did notice how bright it was last night.

Well that explains a lot. I have narrow transom windows over my bed. Those damn windows were not well thought out on my part, they are on the east/west pathways of the sun and moon. During the full moon, it shines on my bed starting around 2ish. Full moon nights are a pain in the ass. Last night though, it was so flipping bright it was like a spotlight shining in my room. Tonight will be worse.  |

Yup, camera is all ready. Having a gorgeous, though warm, day here where I am in southern California.

And I love when they are in the fall/winter because then the moon comes up over the mountain range and its awesome!

My 4 year old spotted it last night. It was really beautiful right around dusk.

Looking forward to this here in So.Cal. It is going to be crystal clear here. Has been a warm but beautiful day. Last night the moon was gorgeous too.

Wasn't sure I would see it tonight as we have had fog come in the last couple of nights. But a little bit ago I noticed this defused light behind some clouds. Then it appeared.
No fog yet just some wispy clouds and this big old moon shinning away.
It is pretty.

I missed the moonrise so I only got a few pics of it, high in the sky, and frankly, it looks no different than any other full moon photo I've ever taken.
Disappointed to have missed it. |
