Just got this shot with my crappy 75-300 canon zoom:D
Stop the thing down a bit and wow....not bad.
A spot of focal blade and level adjustments and this is the result.

Nice shot! What settings did you use? I have the same lens, and can never seem to get results as good as this.

Not a bad shot for the lens used! Looks like it was 1/400 f/8 at ISO 100.

That pic is amazing Eric. I love how it's framed. I'd love to print that and hang it.

Funny how the moon looks almost identical no matter where you are in the world. you can see the same marks in it. Very nice.

It doesn't look that nice by me (Houston)... maybe if you can see through the pollution.

nice! I like the framed version best...and it always looks the same because it always is the same. The moon doesn't rotate as it revolves around the earth.
