whew boy, that sucker's glowing. That''s about the time I went home. Seems a bit soft, but the 4 seconds would never be sharp when you are shooting the moon. a 200-400??? that's cool...yours? Rented?

Rick, My collection of lenses still surpasses my PS skills..

I have a 200-400, a 500, and a 600 that will be for sale soon, to get a 300 F 2.8 VR. Then, that is it for a good while!

All my recent Avian posts were hand-held with either the 200-400 or the 500.

Sandy: I'm sure glad someone here got this. My wife and I watched it happen. Incredible and a little spooky.

I like both of your shots. I completely forgot about this on the night it took place. This one does appear a little soft, but as the gentleman said, at 4 seconds the moon is moving!
Nice job.
