Apparently, the Moon is the largest it's been for about 20 years due to it's orbit.

Go and take a pic and post it up!

That's not fair, I want one! I wouldn't mind some nice cloud just like that too :)

I took some more pics tonight but haven't taken them off the camera yet, I used some exposure bracketing to get 3 shots for every one with varying exposure so I have a better change of getting a nice pic, I think that last one was just slightly "over cooked" although the moon is bloody bright so it's a fair representation.
