First time shooting the moon

[JohnS.]

This isn't my first time shooting the moon but it is my first time shooting it and actually trying to get results. I've done it in the past a couple times, back when I first got a DSLR to see if I could and failed lol.

I didn't have any sort of computer to preview the pictures on so I took a bunch and did my best. I know it's a little overexposed (I tried using GIMP to bring it back down but I suck at editing) and a hair out of focus, but overall, I am very pleased for my first attempt.

Shot with a D7000 and 70-300VR. I need something longer. Any pointers can be posted here: Diving into astrophotography. Pointers Photography Forum
