Thanks leaforte & InsuredDisaster. It's was fun to capture.

Great shot! Why the yellow tint? Was it low in the sky?

[FMarek]

Would like to see your gear shooted. Tried to capture the Moon too, but never was happy with the results. Yours is great!

[RBrogen]

Thanks FMarek and embender.

FMarek: The setup was hand held, 5D MKII, 100-400L with 2x extender racked to 800mm, manual focus, f/11, 1/160, iso 100.

embender: It was sort of low but I shot with an adjusted white balance and let it lean toward a warmer tone in PP.
