Super moon (1 night late)

These days, the internet has been crowded with news about the moon, that the moon would be on the nearest point to our beloved Earth. It is said that the moon will be around 14% bigger compared to the size when it is on the farthest point.

So, two days ago I went out to find the moon, but unfortunately I was late, the moon was already quite high, and my daughters were with me in my car, so I could do nothing. Last night, I went out again after maghrib prayer, this time withoutters :).

I took a location near my university, in the parking area. It is an elevated area. I set up my camera and patiently waited. And finally I got some pics. Taken with my HS10 and tripod.

One night late, what is the difference 1 day in 18 years.


It is a result from two merged pics. I put the picture of moon I got around the same time, and resized to match the original size.

Here is the original pic.




And here is the moon.
