It arrived a few nights back and as it was a clear sky that night was big and bright.
Taken from a position around 34 02 south and 018 20 east and looking east by south east this is a regular sight, its quite amazing just how fast the moon is moving, check the two pictures and the position of the radio mast. This first picture was taken after the second picture, the moon has moved way over to the right already, this was in just a few minutes too.
Thats the Constantia Berg radio mast just to the left of the moon.

The Canon G11 was really stretched to do a decent close up, it just will not handle the mass of light. Next time I shall try a tripod?
