Thanks, Gene,

I nearly missed the fullest part of it - at 23:14 - because I dozed off 
in front of the TV.
What surprised me about photographing the moon is that you can get away 
with using shutter speeds you'd expect for daylight shots, here 125th 
and 250th (albeit set manually, AE just doesn't get you anywhere).

Hope you enjoy the rest of your trip, we'll be off to the UK for 3 weeks 
on Friday, best from Hannover.
Douglas
