The Full Moon is Tuesday, April 27, this is a perigee (super) Moon. Perigee is on April 28, 11 hours after official Full Moon, but this still counts.

Looking north-east after Full Moon on Tuesday, 27 April at 23:00 ACST (strictly Full Moon is at 1:30 ACST and Perigee at 1:00 am ACST on the 28th). The Full Moon is a perigee Moon when the Full Moon is closest to the Earth. This is not as good as the May 26 perigee Moon/lunar eclipse but is still very good. Don’t look just at moon rise as the horizon illusion will make the Moon look bigger than it is, wait until it is a decent way above the horizon. The size contrast will be best when comparing to the October 31/November 1 apogee Moon.
A full Moon at perigee has been called a “Super Moon“, this is not an astronomical term (the astronomical term is perigee syzygy, but that doesn’t trip off the tongue so nicely), but an astrological one first coined in 1979 (see here).
Still, it is a good excuse to get people out and looking at the Moon.
Venus is lost in the twilight.
Mars is readily visible in the evening sky above the north-western horizon in the early evening. Mars is just beyond the stars that form the tips of the horns of Taurus the Bull. On the 17th Mars is just two finger-widths (about 2 degrees) from the crescent Moon. This means Mars is within binocular and wide field eyepiece distance of the crescent Moon.
