megalithic Posted March 19, 2011 Author Share Posted March 19, 2011 But that's not a full moon, its substantially different from the one I can see now. K. Looks like that's to do with the lens / magnification. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rampent Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 The wreck sat on my specs, so I can't see nothing. Hope this 'moon flare' thing hangs around till Tuesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dunsel Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 Megalithic, is it true that the moon is the same size throuout the sky, although appearing to be bigger on rising? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

megalithic Posted March 19, 2011 Author Share Posted March 19, 2011 Why have I missed it at its best ? It appeared it largest whilst close to the horizon, between around 7-8pm. As it rose it was deep orange, from my viewpoint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
