I was thinking maybe we should spend a lot of money(money we don't need for anythng else) and go there and try to make friends with the moon people.

Sorry. I think I drank too much. It was a full moon, then it wasn't.

Just for grins, I took a couple of quick handheld shots with my Sony DSC-P72 on maximum zoom (a whopping 3x optical) using the "night mode" and the auto setting (with flash, cuz I forgot to turn it off  :oops: ).  Maybe equipment  is a factor after all.  :?


Hmmm, maybe this post should go under the When Cameras Attack thread, instead of sullying this otherwise fine thread.

Great shots.  Now I'm going to have to try this!

Oops, bdann. I forgot to tell you that I think your moon shots are terrific(the 2 high res shots). Would you say that the moon was in a waxing gibbous phase for that first image you posted?

Indeed, waxing gibbous, 86% visible, or something like that.  On the second, it was actually still waxing gibbous, but something like 98% visible, so it looks full.  Today it's full.
