In Chennai the super moon was amazing to look at. It was around 7pm yesterday, I was going for a walk at Shanthi colony. The moon had an extra ordinary size on a clear eastern sky. It was a spectacular sight for the naked eye with the Chennai city on the fore ground with a clear black sky background. Looking through the telescope could have been much better.

Sir,
the News says that on the 19th of this month we can witness
supermoon.... what is this phenomenon.. is it merely the moon coming to its
perigee position or is there more to it.. will there be a club meeting to
watch this through a telescope..??

You are right . It is the nearest perigee position of the moon that
night, that makes it look slightly bigger.
Here is the NASA link which you might have seen already
We will not be able to hold a meet on that night.
