Good going Chris.

You have inspired me to have a go. I have not had a go at the moon for a long time with a long lens. If only if the clouds would clear off.

Regards

Morning Gary,

Thanks, and if its inspired you, that's good as well, try it tonight if the sky is clear,

I also managed to get Jupiter in the same shot, but with such a massive crop its very noisy, and therefore not clear either but you can make out Jupiter's moons in a line around the planet.
