A HUNTER'S Moon brightened the night sky last night and in the early hours of this morning.
The Full Moon helped to create some stunning photographs and observers even spotted a reddish hue to it.
A full Moon at this time of year is traditionally called the Hunter's Moon.
This is because it appears around the time that Native American tribes would gather meat for the winter ahead.
Hunters and farmers would use the light of the Full Moon to harvest crops and track prey, stockpiling for the winter.
Traditionally this also meant preserving the meat they caught to keep them going through the cold months.
A Hunter's Moon, much like the Harvest Moon in September, can appear to have a red colour due to the short time between sunset and moon rise.
