What settings? Moon shots can be tricky.. i found that out. Good job with your (assuming) first shot!

That's impressive. Shots like this are why I'd kill for a decent DSLR. My Fuji just can't take a decent shot like this of the moon. I have tried with and without the lenses I have at all the right settings and it still never quite works. I can do some night photography, but apparently nothing like this.

i was really impress myself with the result. i zoomed my 18-105 all the way to 105mm. the moon looked like a dot on the orignial picture. i probably croped out 90 % of the picture.
