View Full Version : Closest moon for 15 years tonight
If you fancy your hand at some moon shots tonight, aparently it`s the closest it`s been for 15 years, it should be 14% bigger and up to 30% brighter so could make for some nice shots if it stays clear.

hmm, was out on the hill the night before last and I thought it looked brighter and bigger than usual. Was unusual in that I could run no prob without a headtorch. That explains it!
Likewise not got a hope of seeing it tonight. Just got in, soaked to the skin.
