I'm always so disappointed when I hear "Super Moon" because I think I'm expecting the moon to be so close you can see the flags planting on its surface. That being said the detail that is visible in your picture does make the concept a little less disappointing. Bravo I say, a nice picture of a super moon.

Nice one Paul!
But in your composite your moon has an oval shape and not a round one.:banghead:

+1.

FWIW, the largest possible supermoon is only about 7% larger in diameter than average, and most supermoons are not that large.

Wow ...not.

BTW, if I remember correctly, "super moon" turns out to be a term coined quite recently by an astrologer. You'll never hear it in serious astronomy discussions.

Nevertheless, the supermoons in my area have been brighter than normal full moons.Or have I just been taken in by the hype?! At any rate we've had clear skies and cool evening breezes and I always love a full moon.

Cool shop. I live in an urban part of the US; wish I was in a rural part of the country w/out much light pollution to see it. Urbanization and industrialization really killed the beauty and wonder of the night sky for many people.

This is a magnified screenshot of the Super Moon I made in July with my Fujifilm 1000 bridge camera. Lens at 5000mm.
