It's so dark I can barely see anything. is it just me?

maybe u should have played more with shutter speed

Thats pretty good for a hand held shot. Its easy to overexpose the moon, a little level adjustment in PS would help it a lot.

for your efforts i think your results are great.

For hand held that's pretty good. Mine would have been a blur.

Thanks for the feedback, it was a spur of the moment kind of thing, but the moon looks even better tonight and there are no clouds to wait out tonight, so I will return to the backyard. This time with tripod, camera and baby monitor and a parka( it's still -8 c or 18F). Spring can come any time now!

got it a bit better I think but I'm not sure my camera is capable of much more

That looks good, The full moon is the worst time to photograph it. All the detail is washed out by the direct sunlight. If you try again when a good portion of its surface is in shadow you will notice a lot more detail (crators, mountains) outlined by the shadows along the terminator. judging by what you have here some of the larger crators should show up well. Great job =)
