Thanks. This shows the limits of the APS-C sensor on my Canon 40D in just fitting in the moon at this phase. A larger phase of the moon wouldn't all fit. Pretty sure my "finance director" would not approve a Canon 5D MkII (plus the problem taht my EP-S lenses wouldn't fit it)!

However, I think it does show the benefits of the flatter field in the EdgeHD.
