    And another? For the Super Moon to look big in a picture requires a substantial telephoto lens. Try one with just your smart phone and post it.

        Kinda like this "Super Moon" that I had captured with my EOD 80D from Canon and a 500mm Telephoto Lens with a 2x magnification adapter? Yep, the moon was regular size that night, but then again, over the course of millions if not billions of years, hasnt it been the same size???pic.twitter.com/RHdMj3safl

        Gets a little bigger with each small impact, or when the overlords decide to add more to the base.

        i like this little fact...... The collective energy of all the radio waves caught by Earth’s observatories in a year is less than the kinetic energy released when a single snowflake comes softly to rest on bare soil. #wow

        I'll have to double check the telescope specs but it is a cheap one you see companies give away, nothing special. Was given to me bc it was going to be thrown away. Camera is a Canon T5 DSLR with a T-ring adapter.
