Super SUPER MOON tonight

[stevewool]

Well I do hope there are clear skies tonight as tonight is the largest of the super moons for years.
They are saying the moon will be closer to the earth by 22,000 miles so it will look very large.
Me and Em's are going up on the hills to be somewhere dark to get a better picture, well that's if it is clear, maybe still go up if it's cloudy still just in case it will clear later, better take a flask and a KFC for Ems.
Pictures will be posted if I get any you lucky buggers

Not much different from here Steve ....sadly.

We popped out for a dinner at Bonfire Grill Riverbanks. Great view over the Marikina River and enjoyed the Xmas night market.

I kept looking up at the moon but didn't see much.

Perhaps my eyes were misty at the price of the bucket of 6 San Mig bottles for P320 despite the claim of a promo price.

When we was last over in the Phil's I noticed the moon did look smaller and yes it's back to front too, and also not many star's compared to here

Well after lots of popping in and out of the back doors :biggrin:,
I did managed to get a few pictures, well it was not as big as I thought it may have been " but don't we all think that '.
It was so bright and I will be putting some on here later.

Get a tape measure Steve and measure it.. Measure it again next month and then you will know how big it was last night..

Thanks Fred, as you can see it's so much clearer too, maybe it's not as bright as last night as yo can make out the mountains and creators quite easy too
