This was going to be called "Moon on a wire" as it was hovering over telephone wires at the time. Although clearly visible in the viewfinder they have not shown up on the image. You will have to use your imagination!

Manual shot with Canon 450D zoom lens at 300 mm 1/500 sec. ISO 800.

Click as usual.

Very nice CW - Was it quite low on the horizon? given the proximity of the phone line?

Good shot.

Is there a little bit of CA on the limb?

A great example of camera Lens capability CW.

An inspiration to those without scopes. Just put the combo on a tripod or carefully propped on a wall, and Bingo.

Actually LB,t'was I that was low not the Moon. I was sitting on a garden chair with the camera propped on the back of another.

More than a little I'm afraid,Ian. I't was a non APO lens that was used.

Well that is the polite interpretation,Ron.

The reality being I was just too bone idle to get the gear out!

Cheers all
