    I know a few of my BM compadres are Moon spotters, Eclipse people and skygazers, astronomers.

     

    The Super Moon is here tonight in the Southern Hemisphere already.

     

    I only have the iPhone and the moon really is ludicroudly bright.

     

    Here is a rough picture so those a few hours behind me know what they're looking forward to:

    Any advice on how I could have taken a better pic with the phone is welcome, but I hope it gives an idea of how bright it is B).

     

    Best regards

      A tripod and the ability to stop the lens down to a narrow aperture...not easy with a phone. I tried this evening with my phone, and got the same result as you; tried again with the Canon Powershot zoomed in to 600 mm (35 mm equivalent) at f/8.0 with slightly but not much better success (no tripod, being lazy). Moon very clear tonight (15/11/16) and bright despite some cirrus high up. @Navy Bird is the one to ask, I think.

      Interesting - the '@' function doesn't work in PMs, or not on Safari on macOS Sierra at any rate...

      Which is what you'd expect. What I meant was, it doesn't work in the Single Status Update panel
