Too cloudy over here

I set the telescope up (pita) and the moon just looks dark , nothing yet

[dsrtuckteezy]

It's a dull red doesn't show too good in the scope, I much prefer a regular full moon on a clear night

You're a little late. It received full coverage at 9:11. The news said it would last 47 minutes.

I don't know why they keep calling it a supermoon. It's just a blood moon.

It is a supermoon as well. A supermoon is when it is closest to the earth because the moons orbit is an ellipse. Both are happening at the same time.

10mm and 25mm, I wouldn't say super moon either I've seen it MUCH bigger

[red89notch]

You may have seen it bigger when it was closer to the horizon. Its called the moon illusion. The moon looks larger when closer to the horizon because you have reference points such as buildings and trees. When its further from the horizon you don't have any reference points. It is in fact closer to earth than it normally is.

I'll just watch it on youtube

[dsrtuckteezy]

Okay, try it now. It's starting to brighten.

That lens is x120?

not sure. the 10mm i can see craters in great detail, the 25mm i can get the whole moon in view. i lost interest and went back to watching the denver detroit game

makes sense. ive seen the moon huge, but only during daylight in the morning and it was closer to the horizon
