Well DUH... I guess I should have read the comments before asking about the settings.. I have been using ISO 200 and 400 now and then, I'll crank mine up next time. Thanks :-) ~Alan~

Excellent Photo Bruce! Great exposure and sharpness. Here in Arizona where I live the dumb clouds were out. I have the XTi and a 70-300mm and was wondering what settings you used? I have the most trouble with the moon in black sky's, but luck out now and then. ~Alan~

Thanks for the comments, everyone! Art, I used a Canon 55-250mm lens at 250mm, ISO 800, 1/400 sec. at f/16. This was the best of about 15 exposures at a bunch of different settings. Camera was handheld, lens was image stabilized. The image was significantly cropped, and fiddled with and sharpened in PSP X3.

Wonderfully captured capture of the moon. I did look out and view the moon but I can't seem to get a good capture with the lens I have. It was beautiful that night.

Nice capture. I'm curious what your camera settings were. I took some handheld but haven't put them on the computer yet.
