I'm fascinated by the Moon, I love it. I actually track it throughout the month. It's a confusing bugger, though.

Telescope time...

I took a quick shot of it yesterday with my Canon 7D and Canon 500L IS + 1.4x = 700mm

Nice render I can almost see Moon Base Alpha!

Really, this is a good shot.  It could probably be used as an image map for the moon.

thanks, it was just a quick hand held shot. It was -25C and I didn't want to set up my tripod. Feel free to use it

Nice show here, at 7:30 am: Mars, just near the full moon lighting the cumulus, setting on the "Ar Gentilez" archipelago...

Nice shot, Mac. Very soft.
I remember a really cool Moon shot you had posted on TN before, too, really big and crystal clear it was.
