I got a picture of the Super moon last night

Maximum focal length I had was 300mm on 1.6x crop

Here is the jpeg as I quickly grabbed it off card last night too

Sigma 120-300 @ 300mm
F4.5
1/80sec
3000k
Tripod
Manual


I have seen what look like better with worse equipment. But never know if some have applied excessive sharpening as the look like it up close

600mm versions inevitably look much better

For me the point of shooting the super moons is to emphasise its extra size against something tangible, which is why you see those shots with it rising against buildings etc. You'd still need a pretty long lens for that though.
Better than me though as every time there is a super moon around here its always cloudy.
