That's nice John - I've been seeing that Moon on the way to work these last couple of mornings thinking I must get a snap at some stage!

Great shot John, same as Paul, I've been watching that moon every morning and playing with my 55-250, but nothing as crisp and detailed as this. Good job!

Cheers Richard. The 55-250 will do a good job, but your Meade will do better...

Lovely image John, I see you have a hint of the Mare Orientale on there, I got a closer look a few hours earlier about 4am.
