Description

This combined image shows the moon on 7 March 2023 and on 31 August. (the date of the super blue moon).
On 7 march the distance was approx 400200 km and on 31 August approx 363700 km from Earth.

I used the same equipment to image those full moon's a WO Zenith star 73 mm apo a 2.5 PM and the asi 174 mm full frame image.
((both a 2-panel mosaic).
With naked eye not visible but the two image on the exact same scale it is clearly visible.
