 Took this picture with my Meade ETX-125 telescope. The yellow color of the moon is what amazed/surprised me.

It's hard to take a photo of the moon unless you have the right equipment. Looks like you did a pretty good job, it's just there aren't that many ways the moon can be shot and if the photo isn't absolutely sharp it will be hard to stand out. I commend you on the attempt.

How did you get such a nice shot of the moon? Every time I take a night shot they come back blurry.

Not a very uncommon shot. But I am impressed with the level of detail you managed to get. I would be interested in knowing what kind of equipment you used to get zoomed in so close.

to fuzy, remeber if the picture is fuzzy that's going to lose you at least one point if not more. And for this print it's going to be more. Good try and all but this has been done so many times before that this picture seems to me as a first atempt at shooting the moon with an inadiquit camera for the job and a false sense of achomplishment. This just isn't a great image. Don't look at how hard it was to take the shot but how appealing it looks from someone elses eyes. Because I for one tend to over glorify my pictures and think there perfect until I step back and take a look at all the other photos out there. Mine don't compare as do your's.
