Very nice Karlo. I've had good results blasting some RAW files through Registax, lets you turn up the colour more as well as a bit of sharpening.

Here's what I do for the most fun.

Snap a dozen or more in RAW, open the raws in Photoshop and save as TIF, stack the TIFs in Registax multi-point, making sure the feather is set to on to disguise the seams. Save Registaxed image as a TIF and open it in Photoshop. Adjust saturation in photoshop and save for web into JPG format.

Cheers Jonathon, I'll be trying that in the v near future. 2nite looks like it'll be a cracking night for the moon. Lots of new techniques to a have a go at.
