These shots were taken down at Cleveland Point. Also note the star just off to the left of the moon isn’t a start at all, it’s mars!
The 2010 wolf moon will appear 30 percent brighter and 14 percent larger than any other full moon this year, because our cosmic neighbor will actually be closer to Earth than usual.
The moon will be at its closest perigee—the nearest it gets to our planet during its egg-shaped orbit—for 2010, reaching a distance of 221,577 miles (356,593 kilometers) from Earth.
At its farthest from Earth, the moon is said to be at apogee. Perigee and apogee each happen generally once a month, but the moon’s wobbly orbit means that the satellite’s exact distance at each of those events varies over the year. The moon’s phase can also be different during each apogee and perigee.

So tonight started as a journey out of the house to get fuel… I’ll just say I didn’t end up getting any! Whoops! Wanted to get some shots of the moon on it’s own which I wasn’t overly happy with, but here’s a shot I think worked well.
Naturally all comments good and bad are welcomed!

Well well well… alright I wasn’t actually leading into a good punch line, but you thought I was! Myself and the better half decided it was time to get away from life as we know it and enjoy a weekend away with a bit of R&R down the coast
We stayed at Conrad Jupiters and managed to score a room on the top floor thanks to Kat and her smoking habit, only to still have to venture all the way downstairs when she decided it was time for a lung top up! Anyways back on topic… took a few snaps over the weekend and here they are
Easier viewing? Yes… CLICK HERE!
