What's the super moon?

Basically, it's when the moon is full or new and rises at it's closest point to earth. Every moonrise and moonset creates an illusion that the moon is larger. When combined with the moon's closest approach to earth the results can be dramatic.

When taking picture of the moon, it shows a tiny dot in middle of dark spaces.

I see from the first post you have a 950. Did you try any DNG captures for crop in and processing on PC? Did you lower the ISO? Shoot from a tripod? No zoom to minimize shake?

It is one of the hardest shots to get with a smart phone.

Funny I see this topic. I was thinking how to take a pic of a moon close to earth. Thanks for the links.
