It is a bit chilly outside but the Moon's shining bright so if anyone's interested to shoot on a clear night sky with everything on clear view, now's one of the best time to shoot... (I think the full moon cycle ends on Oct 24, and last quarter starts on Oct 25.)

After about a hundred trials, here's a shot that i took...

Thanks to geoff for the lens!

...and 5 minutes after posting this, it rained. har har har, just my luck.

Nice shot, not real crisp could be my old monitor.
What was the photo data?
Maybe a smaller aperture would help.
What lense did you use?

Cheers,
Greg

Har har... its not your monitor, its the picture, 100% crop and enhanced on PS. I should've used a smaller aperture as well and i used a nikkor 70-3000g lens. (me, such a beginner)

Wow, 70-3000? Where can I get one of those?!? Haha, just kidding... Anyways I'm glad to see a decent moon shot with that lens, I wanted to try my hand at taking one and I happen to have the same 70-300G...
