Image Details:

I can easily tell if the Moon is near Apogee or Perigee by how well it fits in my 0.7° field of view at 40x. It's near Perigee. Actual Perigee occurs 36hrs after Full Moon this month. So it won't be a "SUPERMOON". It will be a "SUPERWANINGGIBOON". I like coining new Astronomical terms.
