Beautiful! What lens did you use? (if you don't mind me asking...)

@martie: The Sony H9 has a fixed 15 X zoom lens. However, I added a Sony 1.7 X tele converter to it. In 35 mm terms this gave me a 790 mm lens. Thanks for all your comments martie!
Ina from Krugersdorp, South Africa

I am assuming you also added a tripod for the rock-steadiness of your moon shots? This may be the best one so far in its utter simplicity. You show-off! Lol.

@Viewfinder: Of course. Thanks for all your comments Viewfinder.

I agree with VF - I think I like this one the most. I especially like the detail on the dark side of the moon. Great shot (now stop making me jealous - if this continues I will have to buy more lenses for my camera and my wife will not be happy!!!).

@Chris: My wife caught me buying the tele converter. I was surprised she got over it as quickly as she did. Remember, nothing ventured nothing gained!
Michael Rawluk from Prince George, Canada
Have you ever thought that is seems impossible that the moon can hang there?

Great clarity! You make me want to run right out and buy a tele converter (a...nd I just spent money on extension tubes). I love this image.
