Paul D., if you can't beat 'em...join 'em.

I hated to see clear, but moon-filled, nights go to waste. So I rekindled my interest in lunar imaging. Now EVERY clear night has something to offer.

I Like your moon shot - and your comment that every clear night has something to offer -- something we can all learn from.

Great image, Steve. Is this one of the moons of Sagittarius? How many light years away is it exactly?

Good seeing that night. But then again, you're the one who taught me how to sharpen things in Registax many years back.
