Tonight’s Very Large “Super Moon” as Seen From South Boston.

by markadmin Posted: Saturday, 3/19/2011

I photographed tonight’s so called “Super Moon” from the Fish Pier in Southie. I needed some type of scale to show how big the orange, reddish moon was at moonrise. I lucked out. The Spirit of Boston was cruising by just at the right time. The photo was snapped with a Canon 800mm lens 2000ASA with a shutter speed of 1/60th and an aperture of f5.6. The moon is the closest to the earth while being full, hence the largest, in almost 20 years. Check Sunday’s Boston Herald for more.

    Unbelievable shot showing comparison of the moon size to Spirit of Mass.
