The super part of the description comes from the moon being relatively close to Earth, 7% larger and 15% brighter. The Wolf bit comes from it being a January full moon. It is a total eclipse, in the UK the moon will be visible throughout the eclipse, weather permitting.
The forecast is for thin layers of high partial cloud, so it's a maybe... Patience required, together with large flask of coffee.
The last such full event until 2029.
D800, the Nikkor 300mm f/2.8 and my heaviest tripod.
A big heavy polar mount would be good, if I can get my head around stepper motors and their controllers, that could be possible in the future.

Update: The weather seems best in Cornwall and the North, Wales and the Eastern parts of England less good. Scotland West poor, Eastern side better.
