How often we have called it on
We have called this on 1 of the 6 Sundays we looked. Last on September 13. That is our own weekly verdict rather than a measurement of the trigger, and a condition that fires midweek can pass between two builds.

The size is the least of it. The picture is the moon against something built, which needs a sightline scouted in advance and a long lens from a long way back.
