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 :)

darn, its cloudy out, i cant see a thing!
Nice render ;D I can almost see Moon Base Alpha! 8)
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 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jentilez)" 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.
