Thanks, Bones. Clearly you have discriminating taste in moon shots.

Good exposure, Redhawk. You got some good crater detail there.

Thanks kdog, I wish the moon would have been a little higher in the sky, when I took the photo it was still quite low in the sky, where atmospheric distortion is at its worst.

Ok I know this is a lame moon shot. But if you enlarge the thumbnail...just to the right of the moon is Mars. Mars had just re-appeared, after a 45 minute eclipse behind the moon this evening.

It seems Mars could be in danger (1 in 75 chance) of being struck by a large asteroid. You can read about it here:

I captured this unusual image of the moon as it sunk beneath the trees, the night of the eclipse last year.

ok, from someone who just enjoys photography, and has really no idea... Are those close up crater shots possible with a regular digital at all?
if so, how? if not, what type of camera is needed? and how do you get them? (the shots that is)
I think they are fantastic!
