Nice clear sky thanks to a frigid Canadian High. Makes for good night sky photography.
Shot at 400mm with a 1.4x teleconverter With the 1.6 crop factor, my math says this is effectively 896mm. My math isn't always so good :P
Converted from Raw, USM, levels, adj shadows/highlights, sharpen, levels, adj. shadows/highlights. Crop, save for web. Adj levels and contrast. Used blur tool for final details.

I've tried shooting the moon in the past, and I can sure appreciate the skill and the effort necessary to come up with this one. However, I'm afraid that DPC will require more for a free study entry and score this in the high 5s range. I'll try to alleviate that by a little bit. Great job!
A nice picture of the moon but if you have access to the right lens or telescope mount - what is there left for you to do as a photographer? As a consequence - though technically very sound, this lacks enough interest to live with the best entries in this challenge.
