YOU WIN! your resolution is much better than mine. Large apertures really help i guess. I only had F/5.6. What kind of tripod do you have? I think my sucks a little.

Thanks. While I was using a 300mm f/4 lens, I also had a 1.4x teleconverter. So I was really around 420mm at f/5.6. I found that the moon was moving fairly quickly and had a hard time getting a sharp image with any shutter speed slower than one second.

The tripod I used is a Manfrotto 808RC4 head and Giottos MT9371 legs. Big, but very sturdy. One thing I don't like about the head is that is can only be angled upward 30 degrees. So it was tough getting some shots the more overhead the moon went.

I really want a good tripod with a ball head. I'd like to go down to B&H in NYC and try them out before I buy one. The camera shop doesn't have them. The closest good camera shop near me is about an hour away, and they're closed on sundays!. I've had problems with camera shops being closed. B&H is closed on every jewish holiday, even those I've never heard of or know about. One day I'll get one of those nice tripods.

I wish I had the knowledge to give an advanced critique, but would my opinion suffice---Gorgeous! Very nice shot! I love the color and the fact that the shot is so crisp.
