Here a composite image of the closest full Moon perigee and most distant full Moon apogee of 2015. The apogee was recorded on March 05th - from Modena (Italy), and the perigee refers to the last Total Lunar Eclipse - from La Palma Island. It was photographed in the vicinity of the wonderful Italian "Telescopio Nazionale Galileo" - TNG observatory. What an amazing experience and eclipse! I have been working with this "Apogee/Perigee" photographic project for a long time, but this year the full Moon "eclipsed perigee" put "a spell" on it. At least until 2033, when the next perigee Moon eclipse will occur!
Details: both the images were recorded using a Pentax 75 SDHF telescope together with a Nikon teleconverter TC-14B 1,4x and 1/500 sec at 100 ISO for the apogee and 6 sec with AstroTrac TT320X-AG mount at 400 ISO for the perigee.
