Thanks to Nathan for taking his Moon photo on the day it was closest  
to Earth and as it's largest size as viewed. I missed the day but  
thanks to Nathan's shot I was able to catch it the following night.

Shot with the Nikon D300 and the Nikon 1000mm f11 mirror lens.

This was a very quick hand held shot where I guessed at the exposure  
of 1/2500 sec at ISO 800.
If you look at the EXIF data it's not correct as I forgot to set the  
manual lens setting in the camera menu.
It's also not cropped to give you an idea as to what a 1500mm lens  
view would be on a FF or film camera.
