Hey all. My kids and me were trying to get some shots of the old moon tonight. I took about 40 or so so far. We were going out every half hour or so and I was shooting 10 or so shots per trip. As it is minus 20 degrees we were pretty quick about it. As we came in I would pop the camera card in the pc to see if they were any good. I tried all different settings, however only a few seem ok . If you are interested here is the link. click the pics for 66%. click again for full size. Feel free to browse the albums.

Enjoy! personally i like the first one, although the one with the moon in motion looks like the space station is next to it just to the left. It is not tho, just a trick of the light.
