how did you get the picture that clear? do you have some mega lens? and did you keep the shutter open longer?

I was taking pictures of it too, until I ran out of batteries! GRrrrrr!

I didn't have my long lens with me, so I had to settle with my 70-200 with 1.4 extender.

If I remember correctly, this shot was taken at F8, 1/80 sec, 280mm, on a full-frame camera. The shutter was actually relatively quick, to avoid overexposing the moon. At 1/80 and Image Stabilizer, I could probably even get away shooting it hand held.
