So I've been looking at getting a telescope after recently taking a lot of pictures of the moon.

Here's a couple I took from 12-22 and 12-23 respectively. The first one I took with my 70-200 (at 200) f4L handheld, but resting on my arms on the top of my car. It was taken earlier in the day when the sky was still blue, but I did a little creative editing thanks to Photoshop. I really like how warm this turned out to be.
f4, 1/100, ISO 100.

The second shot was taken with my 75-300 (at 300). It can get closer, but the image quality with the 70-200 is so much better. I just might have to get the 1.4x or 2x and try those out.
f11, 1/6, ISO 100.
