Let's shoot all full moons in 2026 to compare the size

Hi everyone,

I had an idea that could turn into a really interesting long-term comparison project.

Got this idea after this discussion:

Since today’s full Moon is a “supermoon”, what if we start photographing the Moon now and continue shooting it every full Moon going forward? By the end of the year (and possibly beyond), we’d have a solid collection of images that clearly shows the size difference between the Moon at perigee (closest to Earth) and apogee (farthest from Earth).

I’ll be shooting the Moon tonight and will post my image here. I’d love it if others could join in and share theirs as well.

Important guidelines

  • Use the exact same setup every time — no changes between sessions.
    This is crucial so we can make meaningful comparisons.
  • Do not edit your photo — Convert your RAW photo to JPG without making any changes.
  • No mobile phone photos, please. If you use equipment like a telescope or binoculars with a phone, that’s totally fine — just make sure you use the same setup for every full Moon.

Please include these details with your post (mandatory):

Looking forward to seeing everyone’s results and how this comparison develops over time!

Thanks,
Vijay

Hello guys, I have only taken a video of yesterday’s moon so that I can stack, and I saw this post only after capturing the video. Will it be okay if I uploaded the stacked and sharpened image here?
P.S - I still haven’t started processing it

Hi, what equipment did you use to take the video?

Shot with seestar s50.
