Hi

Cracking photo msh1!

I am dying to give this one a go myself and hope I can get somewhere close to this. If I can, I will be very happy.

cheers needs more data tho i would be out tonight as its clear as moon is so bright i will leave it

[sologuitarist61]

A good start though - well done

[ultranova]

You have done very well indeed to get an image as good as that with the moon being so bright.

Top stuff.

Yes indeed - very good I've been out tonight looking around with the nearly full moon and decided it was hopeless.

That's a cracking image and brilliant for a first attempt. It's a challenging target...

Great image for a moon lit night.

Had a quick play with the image to remove the green tint (hope you don't mind) using the Hasta La Vista Green HLVG pluggin in Photoshop Elements.
