SUPER PERIGEE MOON

by Dick Nieuwendyk
(Dorval, Quebec, Canada)

The photo of the Super Perigee Moon was shot on March 19, 2011
at 19h47 from the Air Canada base near Montreal.
Camera: Nikon D200
Lens: 70-300 Nikkor
I shot this picture with the camera mounted on a tripod, using a remote control 7 sec at f/8 - ISO 100.

The moon was 14% larger than usual and 33,575 km away from earth.
The last time a Super Moon seen was in March 1993.
