Lunar Apogee and Perigee with a webcam
Back in March I got this set with my Scooter GEM and a C500 webcam.
Added to last night's apogee set it makes a good comparison of angular
size in our sky.

Processing was kept as similar as possible to the March set, along with
colour enhancement and contrast etc.

Some imperfections still visible in both sets due to autostitch settings

Awesome. It's really fascinating that there is such a big difference in apparent size.
