The Moon will be at its perigee and full, making it 16% brighter than you are used to seeing it. As it rises over familiar buildings it will appear even larger due to an optical illusion, making a wonderful opportunity for shutter hounds. Happy Cinco de Mayo from Odin!
 
Already looking good...

Thanks- they are a little over exposed and noisy. the camera set the ISO to 800- which isn't needed for a full moon. I'll manually set it if the cloulds hold off tonight.

Beautiful pictures. I hope you can take some more tonight!
 
And we're stuck with overcast and moderate winds. Rats. Last night would have been the time to get night current.....

Rats.


Grump.
 
Wow. I would hate to be working at a hospital or be a police officer tonight. No sir.
 
Darn.... Pretty clear night here too,,, went to the airport and tried to pull the plane out of the hangar... Winds are 18- G34... my plane lifts off at 33 with me in it and 3/4 fuel.... :sad::sad:.. And it is 34 f...wind chill is 13 f

I am back home and headed into the hot tub for a nice view of the full moon..... I REALLY wanted to get a flight in tonight too.:(

I caught a little bit of a view of it in our break in the overcast.

Yep. Looks like the moon. ;)
 
Gonna have to black out the windows if I want to sleep tonight.
 
It is BRIGHT here too...... Wind has laid down...... Too bad there is a curfew for airport operations or I would be back at my hangar to get three full stops in tonight..:(:(
