Awesome! I thought it was at perigee December 12-13, though? I remember hearing on StarDate that it would appear something like 40% brighter and 20% larger on that date (I'm completely messing up the stats, but you get the idea.)
It's a lovely clear night here. Need to buy a scope someday but have terrible, terrible night sky viewing in our yard. I've noticed a "Dark Sky Zone" sign on my bicycle rides w/Justin, however, not too far away from here. Suspect if I could find a place to park a scope there we could enjoy the night sky the way I remember it growing up as a kiddo.
