Moon with 70-200 C&C

Wow, thats a HUGE crop as you said tharmsen. Do you just go into photoshop and cut away at the sides until you have just the moon or do you do something else? As of now, I only have MS paint =[

If you want something for free to edit pictures with, you can always download GIMP.
GIMP - The GNU Image Manipulation Program

I use Lightroom2 for editing my pics. You just drag the borders where you want them (frame the picture you want) and export.

As noted above, you should download GIMP. It's a great (free) alternative to Photoshop or Lightroom.

Attempt #2, this time with f/8.

Shooting at F/8 made a bit of difference, looks sharper. Nice job.

Just to clarify, folks, the full moon this month is on Feb. 09 at 14:48 GMT. So, for those of us who are experiencing night as I type this, now is the full moon, "tomorrow night" will be a waning gibbous, but still ~99% full.

(Edited to fix time, had EST instead of GMT.)

No. The full moon occurs at a specific time. This month's time for the full moon is at 14:48 GMT (as in about 3:00 in the afternoon). I'm in Colorado, GMT-7, so for me the full moon is at 7:48 AM Feb. 9. Therefore, the full moon is fullest "tonight" as in the morning of Feb. 9. Not "tomorrow night," which covers sunset Feb. 9 through sunrise Feb. 10.

oh well, finally was able to get to the backyard between bathing the younger one and reading good night story to older one with my sigma 70-200 and a 1.4x converter
1/125, f/8, ISO 100, 279mm

no crop:

here is a shot with glorious 20 sec of PP - crop and WB adjust:

here is more moon porn from today:

with my new tripod taking a moon shot was much easier

Exposure Time = 1/80"
F Number = F5.6
Focal Length = 279mm
ISO = 200

I gave it a go tonight, I'm not at all happy with the results... Moon looked tack-sharp through the viewfinder, looks way out of focus here... and I feel like I lost a LOT of contrast details. This is straight off the camera, on a tripod, 70-300VR, VR off. 2 second timer. Tripod legs were extended all the way, I suspect that there may have been some movement - the 70-300 hangs off the front of the camera quite a bit, and it was extended fully.

ISO 200, 1/10, f/14, 300mm. I zoomed in on PSE to 100% and then cropped it slightly.
