NOTES:

The seeing cooperated for a change a few nights ago for some Moon shots.  Focus was slowly shifting so some luck was welcome, a couple good ones out of 20 tries.  This is from a RAW file, conversion to B/W and cropped in Photoshop CS2. Not stacked, so don't look too closely at the noise ;-)  Mirror lockup (2 sec delay).
