Shot with a Canon t1i on a 190mm Skywatcher Maksutov Newtonian telescope using an Antares 1.6x 2" barlow.

 

I had the telescope setup in a small park next to the Fraser River. Over 3 hours I had about a dozen people stop by to chat and look at the moon, most of them had come out specifically to see the super moon and were excited to find a telescope waiting for them :)

 

Despite all the media hype, the moon passes closest to us once per month. The moon is only just a little closer and a little brighter than usual this time around. The numbers quoted in the media compared the brightness and size of the 'super' moon with how the moon looks 2 weeks later at it's furthest point from earth. Yipee 'Super' journalists.

 

Processed with just a bit of stretching, contrast etc. I took many exposures for stacking of this view at some point.

This is my new SkyWatcher Esprit 80 f5 400mm focal length. Looks optically superb, and very well made. Focuser from the Right hand side. Underneath is the Vixen style mounting plate (attaches to the actual telescope mount).

This is my new SkyWatcher Esprit 80 f5 400mm focal length. Looks optically superb, and very well made. The scope from above. It's a pretty little thing, but very heavy for its size (due to the focuser being solid, and the high quality glass used in the front elements).
