    Very nice...very clear.

    Now here is a question: When you look at the full moon, do you see a rabbit or a face?

    Ha..!!

    Many Moons Ago....sorry, couldn't help it...

    Actually, it was back in the early '70's...I had a 35mm SLR with a 400mm telephoto...put a 'doubler' lens on that and then added a 'tripler' lens to that...put the monster on a tripod and took some interesting pictures of a total Lunar eclipse...used a cable to take long shutter exposures of the different phases. The movement of the Moon across the film made some interesting pictures...fun to do.

    Funny, looks the same from my angle here as well. Next time you get a chance can you take a pic of the other side?

    I have a "spotting scope" that was designed to use at gun ranges. The darn thing is like a 5000mm lens. It managed to get it to fit on one of my 35mm cameras via an adaptor. Add one of those doubler adaptors and I can see my pretty darn far.

    This camera is a fixed lens super zoom, 28-300, but has threads on the end to extend. I may look into adding to the zoom factor at some point.

    Great shot JP

    I don't think mine is capable of capturing the moon in its full glory ... I'll have to try the next time its relatively close
