Maybe I'll see it when I walk my dogs at bedtime it it's not too cloudy. Strange to think that 10 years ago, I'd probably eat a couple tabs and make a whole day of it.

Turned out to be incredibly clear. The moon color is stunningly beautiful, but I don't see the supermoon part. It looks the same size to me. Does it only appear larger in some places of the world?

Where are you? Here in Maryland it was incredible. It shone bright enough to light the whole sky.

It's only a
really slight difference in size to a normal full moon by eye, I didn't notice much either! The best way to compare is to take a photo at the moon's apogee and perigee and overlay them.
It was a beautiful colour between 3-4am, this was probably the best shot I managed to get between the steam clouds from a power station down the road.
Still sat here watching the rest of the phases 'til dawn, think tomorrow's a write-off!

Coincidentally, I was finally able to start playing Majora's Mask today. It eerily seems like this was meant to happen.
