There is a total eclipse of the moon on the night of September 27-28, 2015. It happens to be the closest supermoon of 2015. It’s the Northern Hemisphere’s Harvest Moon, or full moon nearest the September equinox.

Just an addendum to my full harvest moon post awhile back! :mrgreen:

How is the Harvest Moon different from other full moons?

Thank you.
The moon should be low enough on the horizon of the West coast to possibly get some structure in the shot. On the East coast it's going to be very high in the sky. I can imagine a shot of the harvest moon with church steeple in the foreground taken with a long lens from about a mile away would be absolutely stunning.
