Jeez - do people not think or evaluate before posting this sort of rubbish?

The street webcam obviously doesn't have decent exposure control so the moon image is "blown out" and looks round.

That's why you've also got a big lens flare next to the street light.

Well I did see the lens flare, but i didn't know the camera could blur that much to make the crescent moon full.

It's not blur (as in out of focus) it's overloading of the image sensor by too much light, which causes spill into adjacent pixels.  Also known as "bloom".

ok gotcha. thnx for the explanation. is that still the same case for this shot? Just wondering. The moon is a little higher in the sky in this shot.

Yep - it doesn't matter where an object is in the frame, it's the amount of light that causes the blooming.  You're getting the same effect from the street light, which isn't a huge glowing ball the size it appears in that image.

Original Message I am not sure wether this is true or not, but this vid is worth watching. Apparently this is fresh footage taken from tonight. Thoughts???
