Did you get the cape?

What did you use for taking the picture?I have actual telescope cameras but all boxed up now so my attempt used a Panasonic digital camcorder with 78x zoom.Had to back off slightly from max zoom.Local humidty caused slight haloing ,camera IS setting was needed to get in-focus picture because no tripod was used.

Personally I didn't feel the moon looked any bigger than usual.

I'll admit, I don't know what you mean by cape, so I probably didn't. I only have a 70-300mm lens, so I didn't get awesome close ups like I've seen, but since we live near the beach I got pretty images, but no, it didn't look really any bigger to me. However, I did get some cool ones of it peeking up over the ocean (that I haven't posted yet because I got a little tired of moon pix --I'll get back to them eventually).
