Brought out the big gun (200 - 400) for this and added the 1.4. Hope you like it.

I like it! Its not often you see a moon shot that fills this much of the frame. How cropped is it?

Here is the unworked file sized to 1024 x 6 something.

Geez, I can see the flag Apollo 11 left behind!

Awesome, I really like how you can see the 3rd dimension of the mountains and craters around the circumference. nice work

Handheld?



Wow... that's a monster combo, and nice result. Cheers

Great job on this. I've shot the moon (seriously) a few times, but haven't managed to get sharpness or contrast anywhere near this (although location/altitude might have been an issue). As others mentioned, I really like how you captured the craters near the edge of the shadow.
