Tonight's much hyped "Super blue blood moon", as it disappeared into eclipse, a collation of images. We were lucky that the cloud cleared just as the eclipse began. For those wanting EXIF details, the lower right image was taken at f11, 1/125 and ISO 400; the middle image at f8, 1/100 and ISO 800; the top left image at f5.6, 1/40 and ISO 3200. The camera is a Pentax K-1. Explored.

Two nights before the "supermoon", the closest full moon since 1948 and for some many years to come. I gather that a combination of orbital factors are bringing the moon about 30,000km closer than is usual, so consequently it appears a little larger. Best viewed large on a black background. Here's a musical link.
