In case you missed it, here's an astronomical sight - Saturday's supermoon flying high above Kent.

This incredible picture was shot by our photographer Andy Payton at around 10.30pm, just off Homewood Avenue in Sittingbourne.

More snaps have now been sent in by our readers, including this belter, below, taken by Jonathan Groves with his iPhone.

He said: "The boat visible in the moonlight is a fishing boat which moments after thus photo weighed anchor and chugged up the Rother into Rye harbour by moonlight.

"I'm going to clean it up to compensate for the poor iPhone optics and print it huge on canvas for the bedroom wall."

Photographer Chris Gilbert sent in a wonderful moon snap taken in his back garden.

He said: "I took one on Saturday night, was good fun getting the exposure right etc, such an amazing sight!"

David Jones, from Kennington near Ashford, sent in his shot of a close-up of the moon and explained how he did it.

He said: "I took the attached picture of the supermoon on Saturday night around 11.30pm.

"I used a Canon s90 compact camera, hand-held over the eyepiece of my birdwatching telescope.

"It is only the second time that I have tried this, so I was very pleased with the result."

The moon on Satuday night was 220,625 miles away, making it seem brighter and yellower.

It was the first time since January 19, 1992, that the moon has been so close to the Earth.

At its furthest, it can be 250,000 miles away.
