You should believe. The horizontal field of view in this portrait
image (300mm on 4/3 sensor) is 2.5 degrees. The angular diameter of the
moon averages about 0.5 degrees but this super moon should measure about
0.58 degrees. Measure and compare on your screen. The image is real.
I think there's some distortion in the image (from what I don't know)
since the moon clearly shows as an oblate spheroid. But measuring
either width or height is close enough to 5:1 to say that this is the
real thing.

300mm on the E-3. Not even cropped. It's legit. But the contrast? Well......
The photograph was taken from a bridge over the railroad track looking
back towards town. It's two miles to the curve.
