Super Moon, 5th of May
  • John_BradyJohn_Brady
    Look out tonight the 5th, and into early hours of the 6th of May and you'll see the Moon at pedigree, the closest to Earth the Moon gets in its orbit.

    It will also be exactly at full phase, so check it out close to the horizon tonight (5th) if you can for that added Moon illusion.

    The Moon will be 40% larger, and 30% brighter than a full Moon when furthest from Earth in its orbit.

    Clear skies !

    wish i didnt have a big house obscuring my view.but the moon looks great always.my scope,a vintage greenkat 3" reflector using a 3X cheapy barlow lens coupled with a 6mm eyepice,it will do for now but i look foreward to saving pennies for a better instrument.

    i know it gets really frustrating when the clouds come over but its worth it when they clear i cant wait to go camping in the summer and just lie under the stars fingers crossed the rain and clouds will stay away :D
