    Well, yes, this is the absolute closest I can get to the moon with my 300mm lens. Can't get any closer (and this is about a 60 % crop).

    But some craters can be seen. That makes me :boogie: :clap: happy! :lmao:

    Love the shot, I just cant seem to get moon photography down, My shots always coe out with no detail in the moon, although I do only have a 200mm lens. I want a 400, maybe that will do the trick.

    Thank you all.
    Actually, the sky was even brighter than it shows here, and I think that did the trick for I could use a really short shutter speed, so I could handhold my camera with the fully extended zoom and still get this one. One that makes me happy ... I have struggled with my moon pics for YEARS! The trick really seems to be to get the moon in a still BRIGHT sky.

    I would be very happy with this shot, Corinna! :D You have some wonderful detail here.

    Love the way you've cropped it, too.
