Last night (after the storm) was a "Full Harvest Moon". I had the settings at f8, shutter speed 1/1600 and ISO 400. I didn't crop this picture at all. It is also the second closest perigee of the year (357,175 km). The closest was back in February (356,884 km). Next month is the "Hunter's Moon" at the third closest perigee of the year (357,410 km). (November's full moon is called a Beaver Moon. Where do they get these names?)

It's a great tripod - next one I get will be a geared head though - for fine tuning with macro photos.
