Not bared bums, but a real supermoon. Saw it last night and it look large. Should be around again tonight if the sky is clear.
Supermoon!

I did see it last night and tried to get a shot of it as the clouds looked good. By the time I went out the clouds had disappeared but I got this handheld shot. The other two are just are handheld shots of the moon from a while back but not full. Jupiter is in the bottom left.
Might try again tonight.

I thought it was Jupiter but could be wrong. I checked it with the app on my phone but that can be a little flaky.
Aaah that explains it as overlooked that in your earlier post so could be Jupiter.
Was a time, not so long ago that I'd get up at any hour if there was a chance of a decent shot of anything. My enthusiasm, like the moon, has waned a bit over the COVID years.
A few years back, while in New Zealand, we visited a place called Gisborne. Not much of a town but it's claim to fame at that time was that it was the first place to see the sun rise. So, after getting some advice about the best location from the motel owner I set off at about 4am. Got to the designated place and set up my camera. And waited, and waited and waited as it got lighter but no sign of the sun. So I gave up and just as I drove around and down the hill I saw what was left of the sunrise. I'd been facing the wrong way.
Never been back but have caught the sunrise at home. Not as often as the sunsets though.

Well I tried again but it was just the same as the night before. 100% full moon was at 2.37am according to my photography apps but being in a rural area the hills limited the view. At 10pm the moon was at 99.6% full which was good enough for me.
Some foreground would have been good but at this time of year and the surrounding hills there's not much on offer.
Wasn't expecting this though.
