mdf: Beautiful clear skies in Welly. Looks amazing!

Yes, I wish I had the skills to get what I just watched in awe on film.

Clear enough in Halswell, but not exciting in the end. Pity it wasn't 6am or earlier, it looked larger last two mornngs due to the closeness and atmosphere effect

Taken with my iPhone 11 pro max.

I doubt you would be able to tell the difference between a supermoon and a regular moon.

For those that don't want to go outside. Live stream of the moon on Youtube.

Not sure I agree with that. Ive seen plenty of Moons that look a lot larger at horizon level, and plenty that look regular size. Same background, etc. 

Had perfect view from our place. Very cool to watch, the kids enjoyed it a lot. Photos not as good as hoped, taken on FZ-200

My pictures came out so well, I simply don't want to post them on a public forum, for fear of missing out on some revenue. 

The potato that I took them with has an incredibly good sensor. 

It was a great sight to see :)

I took this heavily cropped in photo from our house in Woodend by Christchurch, with a Sony a7R III and a 100-400mm lens.

I am in Auckland and kept popping outside to have a look from around 7.20pm until finally giving up at about 11pm.

It was a clear view of the moon every time I looked, but apart from the obvious 'shadow' from the eclipse, it seemed to lack much in the way of 'blood'....

Just went a bit dull.

Methinks 'blood moon' was overselling it somewhat.
