The moon appeared larger than usual last night- a real treat for us in the Ottawa area especially since we had clear skies and the chance to really enjoy it. Dubbed a 'supermoon', the moon was not only at its closest point to the earth last night, it was also in full moon phase.

I met Doug when my bike got a flat tire outside of his house last summer. He let me use his phone. True story.
Doug knows more about astronomy than anyone I've ever met, along with exactly how to capture those amazing night skies. This is his website www.cyanogen.com
