CCD vs Film? Lots of time vs no patience? Alright, this is your place to discuss all the astrophotography what's and what's not. You can discuss about techniques, accessories, cameras, whatever....just make sure you also post some nice photos here too!
Hi,
Took the Supermoon on last Saturday, 19 Mar 2011, using my Canon EF400mm F5.6L. Stack 37 images (not really necessary, but nothing better to do). Below is the image:
The Supermoon was around 356,577km at it's closest. So how big was Supermoon?? I seldom shoot full Moon, but luckily, I used the same lens to shoot the Partial Lunar Eclipse last year.
So, below is the comparsion image:
Have a nice day.

Actually not that much bigger... I made a mistake when doing the comparsion image... I forget that I use a different camera to took the partial lunar eclipse...
Had update the image liao... now should be accurate.
Have a nice day.

Nice work here weixing! And wonderful comparison for those who missed it or didn't notice the size increase. It was brighter for sure!!
Sharp imaging too!! Great post! Should be a sticky or set up in a section for ' What one can see in Singapore'
My wife never complained about how much time, effort & money I spent on my Astronomy hobby!................suddenly I met her!!!
