This is a super photo but maybe others here at clip marks will be able to get in on the action this weekend.

                    the camera, the moon appears to be the same size no matter

                    weekend's full moon hangs lower in the sky than any other 
                    full moon of 2007, so the Moon Illusion is going to be strong. 
                    What makes the moon so low? Consider the following: The sun 
                    and full moon lie on opposite sides of the sky. They are like 
                    a see-saw: when one is high, the other is low. Because the 
                    summer solstice was just last week (June 21st), the sun is 
                    near its highest point in northern skies. The full moon is 
                    correspondingly low.</FONT></P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://science.nasa.gov/headlines/y2007/27jun_moonillusion.htm?list977239"><FONT size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">On 
                    Saturday night, June 30th, step outside at sunset and look 
                    around. You'll see a giant moon rising in the east. It looks 
                    like Earth's moon with the usual craters and seas, but something's 
                    wrong. This full moon is strangely inflated. It's huge!</FONT></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://science.nasa.gov/headlines/y2007/27jun_moonillusion.htm?list977239"><FONT size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">You've
