Not perfect but a bit better than my G6 could manage!

Nice one, the 300mm lens i was using gives an err99 at anything over f5.6 and yours looks over sharpend so thats me an even happier chappy with the result i got now

Yeah I was playing with the unsharp mask (never used it before in my life) and went a little overboard. I left it go out of laziness...but I still have the original.

Hahaha! :D

Just an example of how having no optical zoom severely limits the posibilities as opposed to those excellent examples you guys posted with the advantage of optical zoom. :cool:

Great shots guys!

Happy 36th Anniversary to the Apollo 11 Landing on the Moon!

Would somebody please get a more decent shot! :D

If that camera has a manual mode set the shutter to 1/800 sec. This I took handheld with my Sigma 18-125mm @ 1/800 f/5.6 looking through the pine tree needles:

Just to let you guys know, there is already a Moon thread with lots of great pics in it: http://www.dcresource.com/forums/showthread.php?t=7132

Maybe an admin can combine the threads or make it a sticky?

Wall: Thanks for the heads up, wall. Wonder why admin hasn't made it into a sticky already.

Bluedog: thanks for the tip. I'll try that tonight, hopefully skies will be clear. :) By the way I can't control shutter speed with this thing (Powershot A200), so my best option would be to turn it up to ISO 400 and set EV to -2. Anyone know how to tweak this thing so it can take acceptable shots of the moon? :o

Here is one of the first shots taken with my new Sigma 50-500 EX APO DG:D
