Another moon shot...anyone know astronomy?

Is that Mars or Venus down there?

Red looks like Mars.

Hang on... where is our PlasticSpanner?
Where is he?
He hasn't shown his face in ages ... and Rob hasn't either! :shock:

For he is our big astronomy photographer and knows all the stars!

I should add that this is ONE cool pic of the moon and I wish I could get that close and still get that clarity!

Thanks LaFoto... you're too sweet. I tried a bunch of experiments with it on
a tripod last night. If you leave the shutter open too long, they actually come
out blurry. I didn't realize the moon actually moved that fast. Crazy stuff! By
long, I mean more than a couple of seconds.

That is beautiful. The colour is fantastic. Whenever I have tried it doesnt have that glow:er:
