How can we tell how big it is, unless you include a ruler in the picture.

Top place, Finchley.

I stayed in Finchley once.... as a teenager in maybe 1987. We had a run in with a drunk and angry skinhead in a wimpy bar. Instead of being scared we were laughing to the point of urination in our trousers. This didn't help the skins mood, which made us giggle more, which didn't help...... etc.

It was in front of me all the way from Bristol to Richmond tonight , it was shrouded in cloud now and then , but gave me something to ponder ,

That moon did look very big when I wandered round to MiL's earlier.

It's not that impressive to be honest, it might be due to a bit of cloud cover, but it's about as super as special brew is special.

The way most nights of celestial phenomena go round here - it's cloudy and foggy. 7 o'clock this evening though we got a good and bright display in a break in the cloud. I went scampering for to find my lens for my 8" Dobson. Yes, 8 inches! My gf and her friend called out from the bedroom "It's too late. Your chance has gone." Dammit.

Edit: The bedroom window faces east. In the direction of the moon. Just in case...

I see clouds and rain only.

Like this?

 

[Oldfentiger]

Like this?

OK, a rule or other such measuring device then

We seem to have had quite a lot of 'super-moons' recently... but this one, being the closest full moon since 10,000,000 years BC, is accompanied by cloud cover. Oh well. I'm sure there'll be another soon enough.

The next one is due in 2034, not that far away is it?

You've got an 8" Dobson? Does Miss Goodbody know? I'm sure she'd wait a few minutes longer before telling you your chance had gone.
