Last night was the first full moon after the fall equinox. This moon is always called the Hunter's Moon. It's also called the blood moon, although I didn't see it glowing red last night. Maybe I went to bed too early.
This particular Hunter's Moon was also a supermoon which means the orbit is closer to the earth and the moon looks bigger and brighter. The effect of the moon appearing brighter actually started on October 14th. It will continue for several nights, so it's still possible to see a bright, almost full moon tonight. The supermoons also have a stronger effect on tides.
Cedaredge is a great place for those that want to view full moons. That's because there are a lot of places out of town where it's easy to get a great view of the full moon without the disruption of city lights. Even in town it's still easy to view full moons, because there aren't a lot of bright lights and tall buildings to get in the way of the view.
I was too lazy to drive outside of town. I took this picture near Town Park last night.
