Shot with a Canon t1i at prime focus on a 190mm Skywatcher Maksutov Newtonian telescope.
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.
Fully processed version:
Taken with a Skywatcher ED80 Refractor using a Canon 600D at prime focus. A Baader Astrosolar filter was fitted to the telescope. Best 25 out of 45 images stacked using Registax 6 after centering and cropping each frame automatically with PIPP. This whole process takes less than 10 minutes. Photographic settings :--- Scope 80mm Diameter lens at F7.5 giving a focal length of 600mm. ISO 100 1600th sec exposure. Camera in continuous shoot mode to take a rapid burst of jpg images. Scope on a AZ3 Mount so not guided. The Baader film can for scope is homemade as the filter is cut out from an A4 sized sheet that it's supplied in. It's very easy to make a safe housing for the film. The effective focal length of 600mm becomes 960mm when the Canon crop factor of x1.6 is factored in

Skywatcher Evostar 90, 90mm aperture, 910mm focal length (giving f/10.1), air-spaced two-element achromatic refractor on an altazimuth mount (AZ-3). Good for viewing (and imaging) the planets. A present for my beloved mum who always wanted to see the planets up close for herself. :-D xxxx
