Well the weather finally warmed up enough for me to brave the chill night air and take another moon shot. I wanted to use the new doubler I purchased, but regretfully, when I put it on with my 1000mm lens, the moon was larger than the frame. The doubler didn't help with focusing either. I think the lens really isn't that great. It is a very inexpensive model that is completely manual. Which means that the only feedback I get from the camera is the shutter speed.

I just played around with this shot a bit in Photoshop and Xara Xtreme Pro 4.0.
