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...acc wrote:wow nice comparsion; didn't know it got so much bigger!
