    Re: Was it a "super moon" or just the same old moon?

    Yeah. I posted this data in graph form. Really hard to tell difference. Here's one with more relevant axes. Shows what angular diameter is and also marks full moon It changes very slowly over the months, for a grand total of 15% from min to max, so it's never more than 7% from the 'average'.  We really can't notice that without some reference, like maybe a reticle eyepiece. OR a SEXTANT!  That would be fun. It's only a few minutes, but that should be enough to measure.
