This is one of the several moon shots I have taken recently. The others pictures were small, because I couldn't zoom in enough. Last night I walked outside to check the pool pump before going to bed, and there was this huge moon, couldn't resist running in and grabbing the camera.

That's a great shot. I never have been able to get a good one of the moon because it is so small.

nice shot. i havent been able to get a decent shot either. not with my P&S. love the color, and how the craters are very detailed on the edge where the rest of the moon would be.

I saw the moon on the way home the other night and I couldn't believe how huge and how low (close) the moon looked. Very similar to this shot, nice capture.

I convinced myself there will be another opportunity and I've just not been driving home that late at night recently. I hoping it's going to stay that low / clear for a while and I can grab the shot on the next full moon.

That's beautiful! I tried to take a photo of it, but on a point and shoot. Doesn't exactly compare

Great shot - looks so sharp - that D90 is working for you. Cheers, Bernz

Thanks everyone for the comments. I can't wait until the new moon. Looking forward to some full moon shots. I am also working on getting the adapters to connect to my daughters Meade telescope for some good closeups.
