19/3 Super fullmoon tonight, perigee moon

Read in the papers that we have a "super fullmoon" tonight.
The moon is as close to Earth as it gets.
30% brighter that usual and 15% bigger.
It happens every 18 years and some scientists say
itīs the cause to big earthquakes and such...
Well, had to snap some pics.
Dragged the tripod, D300 and the 70-200mm 2.8 lens + TC 1.7 to the speedway stadium.
There are no streetlights and such disturbing.
Not the greatest shot, but I blame it on my crappy hand ;o)
