Picture of the Week 29 April 2008

Postby Greg B on Wed Apr 30, 2008 6:57 pm

We have had a few moon photos on the forum over the years, and guess most of us have had
a go at it ourselves (I have, with dismal results)

Josh (joshman) has treated us to a first class moon photo here, and I think it makes a great PotW.
The detail, sharpness and clarity are all astonishing. Josh used a telescope for this shot
to great effect, details in the thread which is here

Fine work Josh!
