Lunacy
Took a few shots with the D50 + 70-300 lens tonight, the skies were wild with fast-moving broken low cloud, impressively backlit by the full moon, which looks flat without shadows.
First one: handheld stuff only, couldn't be bothered to race upstairs for the tripod. Full manual settings (300mm, f/5.6, 1/1250s, ISO 200), minimal tinkering with PS CS3.

Just caught the great pixs Stefs. Back off outside now to carry on the howling. 😯
That is a massive feature at bottom south west - presumably an impact crater? There is nothing else to rival it in the rest of the pic, but what about the non visible side of our moon?
That's Tycho, a comparatively small impact crater made more impressive by the large ray-system.
I recommend a fine bit of easy-to-use free software for us armchair astronauts - Virtual Moon Atlas.
