Super Moon on Monday

[Pete Gianakos]

On Monday (11/4) the moon will be closer to the Earth than it will be for the next 68 years. It will appear 15% larger than normal.

If you want to shoot it, here a few tips:

1. Get it when it's close to the horizon so you can include some landmarks. This will give it some perspective and it will appear larger.

2. Try to get it before it's completely dark so you can get an exposure that captures detail in both the moon and the earth.

Also, if you want to figure out exactly where it's going to rise in your location, there are apps like the Photographer's Ephemeris that let you figure that out in advance so you can plan your shot out.

Lastly, take some time to enjoy the event!

3. Don't waste your time with your Phantom.
It's about the worst camera you could use to shoot the moon.
Get an SLR and a telephoto lens if you want any decent results.

and do not forget to use a tripod and switch off image stabilizer if your lens has this feature.
If your camera has a mirror lock up function simply switch it on to reduce camera vibrations and use a remote control.
