What makes this Full Moon special
On September 16, 2027 the Moon is about 399,000 km from Earth, well above the mean distance of 384,400 km, so it is neither a supermoon nor a micromoon.

Observing from London
In London the Moon rises on September 16 at 18:54 BST and sets the following morning at 08:23; the Sun sets at 19:14 and rises the next morning at 06:37. The Full Moon is therefore above the horizon all night long. Other locations in the UK differ by a few minutes.

Short exposure (1/250s–1/500s), low ISO (100–400), telephoto range. Smartphone: tap the moon manually, slide exposure control down. Use a tripod for sharpness at long focal lengths.

Harvest Moon: the full moon closest to the autumn equinox. Its early rise on several evenings in a row once extended the harvest day.
