Photographer’s Note
Before yesterday night (22.30) I tried my new Olympus TCON-17 len. This picture has taken 12*1,7 optic *3,11 digital = 63,5x zoom. It wasn't easy, because of lot of clouds.
I added little contrast and Unsharp mask in Photoshop.
I hope you like it.

For the kind of setup you used for this shot I think it's very difficult, if not impossible, to get a better result.
Full moon show poor details due to the lack of shadows. Compliments!

I like it - it's very clear, and as already noted it can be difficult to take photos of the moon.

Wow! This is a really impressive first attempt. In fact, looking at this you're making me want to get out and try it myself... although I seriously suspect the results I get won't be anywhere near as good!
In spite of the digital zoom you've used the image still looks sharp and not too pixellated as I might have expected. I think it might be possible to try and smooth the edges a little to make it look a bit more natural.

Wow, the moon looks great. It's very textured. The telephoto worked well even with the digital zoom. Great job. I'm tempted to try it as well.

Congratulations Gabor, a MOON in everything splendor, I like that she is not centered in the picture and the definition of the image.
Good work.
A hug from Spain........ Paco

Looks nice! I expected much more coarse pixel due to the digital zooming. I hope to make some moonshots tomorrow night through a telescope on a public observatory with the Olympus E-500.....

For me, this is a nice picture, far beyond my capabilities. The image is clear and well contrasted. Try a picture from the milky way now !

Hi Gabor!
Very nice shot... the photo of Moon... quite good quality... I think impossible is to reach better results without really professional cameras, lenses... etc...
I'm just interested... while posting a photo of Moon... what localization should be choosed? ;)
Best regards,
Olaf
