Great photo... I've never had much luck with moon pics, despite using a tele lens and taking hundreds of shots... the eclipse last year was a dismal failure :-(
Ian, I could never get a good one either. Last year I made a complete mess of a great moon. My moon shots usually come out blurry and with too much glow. For this one I used a 300 mm lens on a tripod and had the camera set on manual with a shutter speed of about 100 and iso on 100, the aperture was about 5, I still had to crop it. I don't know what it was that made these photos work but I was pretty pleased with the, they could do with a bit more sharpness but I'm not complaining.
