Full moon (almost)
The first full moon for 2010 - I read that it was 'special' (brightest etc) - but only too late: after "the day", so this is a nearly-full moon on D+1.
Took several shots at max zoom and this one is as detailed as it gets.
Note the tiny speckle at around 11 o-clock angle (top left) - apparently a star (astronomers, pls help :) It changes position on shots taken within seconds, that's how fast the moon rises...
