Wolf Moon at Perigee

Last night the full moon was at perigee, the closest it comes to the earth during it’s orbit. We didn’t catch it until late last night, but it was still stunning. It was so bright Dan kept saying it looked like a light bulb. The moon tonight will be nearly full and still very close to the earth, so if you get a chance go out at sunset (it appears largest at sunset) and feast your eyes on the moon.

Binoculars are great for picking out details. I tried to get a shot through my binoc’s, but this is the best I could do without a tripod.
