2021 Supermoon Photography Checklist

Supermoon photography gear

Remember April 2021’s Pink Supermoon? We scrambled to capture it and turned the chaos into a checklist that mixes real moon photography with our levitating lamp aesthetic.

Gear We Packed

  • Tripod + DSLR with a 200mm or longer lens.
  • Sky-Watcher Evostar 72ED for crisp color—perfect tie-in to our Night-Sky Gear guide.
  • Levitating moon lamp for behind-the-scenes shots so Instagram followers see both versions of the moon.

Shooting Tips

  1. Scout at dusk so you can capture the moon rising near foreground objects.
  2. Start with ISO 200, f/8, 1/125s, then adjust as the light changes.
  3. Use a remote shutter or 2-second timer to avoid shake.
  4. Bring the floating lamp for a quick “before/after” reel—our followers loved it.

Levitating Moon™ Lamp Setup Instructions (Quick Reference)

  1. Place the base on a level surface and plug it in.
  2. Hold the moon with both hands, align over the center, and lower slowly.
  3. Release once the magnetic lift stabilizes.
  4. Tap the base sensor to pick a color temperature that matches the actual moonlight.
  5. Share the PDF from ~/Dropbox/Khytx LLC/Levitating Moon/Levitating Moon™ Lamp Setup Instructions.pdf if you post a tutorial.

After the Shoot

Use the photos in email campaigns, pair them with product CTAs, and remind readers they can recreate the glow indoors with a levitating lamp and outdoors with a telescope. Supermoon seasons come back every year—now you’ve got the playbook.
