The largest and brightest Moon for the year 2023 appeared on 8/30 and it was the closest to the Earth for the year making it a Perigee and Super moon and as it was the second full moon of the month, it was also a Blue moon.
While the Moon reached its closest point to the Earth at 6:36 pm Pacific Daylight Time, it rose at 7:40 pm and where I live there are trees to the East so I did not see the Moon until about 8:00 pm. As it rises it also gets closer to the edge of the building I live in from my balcony view. Took about 70 photos using different settings and this is my best.
