Supermoon.........

Last night, sky watchers across Britain will have been  able to see the first of three Supermoons this year. The full moon will be just 222,631 miles from earth, one of the closest approaches of the year. When a moon is close to the earth, it is known as a lunar perigee, which can lead to high tides, and greater variations between the tides. The next Supermoons will take place on 28 September and 27 October. In September there will be a total eclipse of the moon, visible in the early morning of 28 September in Europe. This takes place when the moon passes through the earth's shadow - this is will be a blood Supermoon, when the moon appears red or copper as light is refracted across the surface.

I need to add that the I used a Canon 7D mounted on a Skywatcher 200p telescope, which in turn is mounted on a HEQ5 Pro Synscan mount. The focal length of the scope is 1000mm, my longest lens is only 400mm.
