Sandlodge & the Super Snow Moon

Super Snow moon from Sandwick

There was a Super Snow Moon on Tuesday night and for once it was a clear night. It started a bit cloud but I had nearly a perfect sky from around 8pm

Moon over Mousa

Its a Super Snow moon because its inflated in size and luminosity because  it occurs on the near side of the Moons orbit

Its 8% wider and 16% brighter, but since there is nothing to measure the scale it looks like an ordinary moon

Sandlodge is at Sandwick just a few minutes away from where we live and it always provides a good backdrop to any night sky photos to the east
