| Almost everywhere in the world, fans of celestial shows were able to admire on Monday, November 14, 2016, the “super moon”, an astronomical phenomenon unheard of for 68 years and which will not occur again before 2034. During my binocular observation of the Super Moon, I took the opportunity to take it with my Nikon Coolpix camera. It is therefore only an image taken in automatic pose! The results are still astonishing. |
