Finally one clear night. Had to fire this photo through a window. Taken with a Meade 125 ETX computerized telescope and a Scopetronix Digi-T Digital camera adapter which connects the camera directly on to the 26mm eye piece. I love that thing.
It's been croped and sharpened

I always have to envy moonshots because I don't have the equipment to take them. I really would've liked for the curve to end instead of being cut off in the picture at the top left corner, but other than that, it's well executed.
So barren, so cold, so lifeless. I like the way the moon fades into the darkness at the bottom of the frame. If you stare at the image, the darkness seems to almost creep up from the bottom. Very nice job on the overall exposure. 8
Awesome detail. The only suggestion I would make is to consider the composition so that the "lit" part of the moon is in the bottom of the frame, then it would have the negative space to really emphasize the subject.
Great picture. How did you do that? My Son and I got a 200 power tasco telescope for Christmas. I tried to take a picture through the eye piece but it came out pour.
Certainly a very original landscape photo. Would have only thought about something like this if I were orbiting in the space shutte. Were you? Or does your telephoto lens have a 1000x magnification? Regardless, I like it a lot.
