Just on a wim, while looking at the Super Moon through my telescope I grabbed my cell phone and took a couple shots through the lens of the telescope.

I'll be damned, they turned out!

Little off center due to the movement of the moon, but jeebus. I have not even looked at them until tonight thinking NFW they turned out!

Enjoy........or not.

Fill me in...super moon? Close apex or something?

A "super moon" is a new or full moon that coincides with what astronomers call "lunar perigee." That's the point at which the moon is closest to Earth in its elliptical orbit around our planet.

Great pics... I didn't expect to even see if from my house, but I looked out the other night and there it was. I couldn't see any difference :leaving:
