Good heavens man :huh that is one heck of a detailed big moon :clap
When we were little kids my brother had a telescope that we all fought over..... we used to love looking at the moon, thanks for that memories.
That is a heck of a shot Ziggy ...... Skippy (Australia)

Great detail, Ziggy! I saw some melons at Farmer's Market yesterday that this shot reminds me of (no kidding!) they were very unusual. Wish I had the lens to do this......in my next life. :D

Very nice moonshot, Ziggy. So when you look at the 100% crop can you see our little flag? :D

Thanks Skippy.

I helped build a 12.5" reflector back in High School, and it provided a splendid view of many objects. We had to use a "Moon filter" for lunar viewing, because it was so bright.

Fond memories here too.

Thanks Saurora,

You're just trying to make everybody hungry, aren't you? Well it worked for me. Mmmm, melon. (Say it like "Homer" would say it.)

I see several, waving in the Solar Wind. No wait, there's a little green guy doing the waving. (D'oh!) (I don't know how I got on this "Homer" kick, but I bet all the foreign folks are goin' "wha'?")

Thanks Chris.

Nik, just for you. Remember that the original crop was from only 1127x1127 pixels.

I went back to that TIF file, and this time I used a Contrast reduction of -10 before the USM, because I think there was too much "graininess" in the final, so here is a 100% crop of 800x800 pixels:

Thanks Awais,

I think they were trying to signal me something, but either they only have one finger, or they're not happy about something. :dunno

Thanks FRG,

I didn't see any Tulips there, or even any "One"lips for that matter. (It's just not funny without the "rimshot".:D)

I saw that you found some great one's where you are!
