Supermoon On Sunday - Best Shot?

[Rob MacKillop]

The moon will be the closest distance to Earth in decades on Sunday. Should be huge. How about a quick and easy competitIon (the usual non prizes) for best supermoon shot? Place em here...

 

[Chris Dodkin]

Does a shot of cloud, where the moon should be, count Rob?

 

[Beth Carter]

i thought 2016's supermoon was the year it would be the closest? looks like we're going to have clouds on the 23rd.

 

[Chris Dodkin]

Closet of 2013 only I believe - a staggering three miles closer in fact....

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Still, that three miles makes a difference - you don't want it too close! Beth, you can wait until 2016 if you want...we'll have another competition then

 

[Beth Carter]

looks like i'll have to wait, they're calling for rain now. [doh] you'd think we moved the state to scotland from all of the rain we've had this month.

 

[Dan Cattermole]

Okay, back to the real world for me. Lol.

Yes Rob, I'll be up tonight on this one. Currently cloudy but the forecast shows that the skies are clearing up tonight around the supermoon time.... In Worcestershire that is.

I'm considering trekking up to the malvern hills for 10ish tonight to get a prime view of it of all goes to plan.
Any Worcestershirians up for it?

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Good luck, Dan. Don't think I'll get anything here...

 

[Beth Carter]

i got nothing but wet.

 

[Dan Cattermole]

I got 2 miles if walking up to the top of malvern hills and back down for nothing .'/
I was hoping to get the moon coming into the horizon, but no joy due to clouds.
It did come out about 11pm for the clouds but it wasn't worth getting the camera out for.
Bright it was... Spectacular it wasn't

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Nothing here either...

Better one supposedly in August (according to the Sky at Night) weekend was to cloudy here
