The full moon that occurs closest in time to the Autumnal Equinox (September 23) is known as the "Harvest Moon". This name is appropriate, of course, only for the northern hemisphere. This year the 06 October full moon is also a so-called "supermoon", a much over-hyped distinction.
Here is the Harvest Moon rising over Snowshoe Mountain. Astro-Tech AT80EDT f/6 refractor.
