Full Moon tonight

Just to tick all you deep space observers off tonight, the sky is clear and
there is going to be a full moon rising around 10:30 in the SE.
It's only going to get around 10 deg high but it should make for a nice 'big Moon' sight
(or photo op.)

There was a lovely shot on Spaceweather today:

(looks like a shot from Ireland.)

yea, saw it just now, a nice big low full moon.

The darn thing was shining into my bedroom window all night... doesn't help insomniacs, but is still nice to admire!

Ah, be gara, ta be sure, ta be sure, looks like Ireland alright Looks like it's rolling down that hill too!

Hey Frank, that's a lovely shot they had up there.

I spent a good hour looking at the moon last night. Just arrived in Crete with the APO on Friday night (man it's hot - 38C in the shade yesterday). Heat wave has killed transparency but seeing is great. The Moon and Jupiter look superb from here - that's really all that can be seen.

I think I'll take a feather from Deirdre's cap and attempt to do some sketches of la luna tonight

Ya know, given the recent weather I just sat there and looked at it with the naked eye for a while, picking out its seas and seeing if I could make out its most prominent craters, so sky starved am I. :lol:
