At 3:35am BST, the moon, known today as the perigean full moon, will only be 356,907km (221,772 miles) away from Earth. However as I will probably be fast asleep at this time, here is a shot I took a few hours ago, about an hour after it had risen.
Looks more like a beach ball in this shot! Do hope you got or get to see the super moon too. Will disappear about 7am our time so you have a few hours left wherever you are. By the way this is a bonus square, the post I had prepared will follow later.

Well done, Becky, a nice clear shot. I went out to look at it a few times but it was very hazy. A shame as we’ve only got one more supermoon this year, apparently – next month I think.

It’s very odd have we have had them all in a row isn’t it. Do hope next month is better for you, and guess at least tonight you could try again – won’t be as close but will still be pretty big!

Our Moon is a bit of a different angle. The radiant lines are on the top here 🙂

Hey Becky, beautiful photo you’ve got there, but despite its beauty my superstition tells me it is a bad moon…

I did make several trips up to the roof last night but the moon didn’t look any bigger than normal. We must be further away? 🙂 🙂 It was very pretty though. Not sure if we’re meant to link here, or later, but here I am!

MrB thought the same about the moon, but it probably did look enormous around 3:35am!

This is super gorgeous Becky. Thank you for sharing. I believe the rain will prevent me from seeing it 😕 but at least I get to see what the Moon looks like on the other side of the world. Stay safe.

It was glorious, wasn’t it? As is this photo. The conditions were rather hazy with us, so my own photo is more – um – atmospheric.

It will rise here in a few hours and we will be able to see it clearly unless the clouds get in the way. Lovely photo!
