Lunar Imaging Session - November 13, 2016 (Pre SuperMoon)

I got to image the Waxing Gibbous Moon this evening with my Canon EOS 500D DSLR with Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 IS L lens set at 400mm f/11 with 1/750 sec exposure at ISO 400 on sturdy tripod. Tomorrow will witness the largest SuperMoon since 1948! The peak of the SuperMoon tomorrow will be at 9:53pm PST with a close approach of 356,509km and the next biggest SuperMoon will not be seen till November 25, 2034 with a close approach of 356,448kms only. The Full Moon tomorrow is also called the Beaver Moon or Perigee Moon.
