Supermoon: Your pictures

[Still Waters]

Stargazers have been taking images of the spectacular 'supermoon' overnight. The phenomenon means the moon - which is classified as a 'perigee moon' by astronomers - appears bigger and brighter than usual because of its proximity to the earth. Some were lucky enough to also see the Perseid meteor shower which is caused by the Swift-Tuttle comet shedding part of its celestial body and leaving behind a trail of dust.

If anyone has taken pictures of the supermoon and would like to share, feel free to post them in this thread.

sorry, cloudy sky last night...will try again today (probably not as good)

But I have an idea, why don't we make a thread for the Sept. full moon in advance? That seems to be the last Supermoon for the season. That way all can get their cameras ready.

I'm not sure starting a thread in advance would be beneficial. There wouldn't be much to post in it until September.

Here's a few more I've found -
