Wellington Supermoon
Well, with cloud cover the last two nights, I was glad I got out on Friday night to at least snap a few shots outside Wellington. Certainly the image in not creative, but I have to say its the most detail I ever captured from a moon image. Image was taken by a Sigma 50-500 lens.
Where's ET when you need him :smile:

Wow, that is some amazing detail in the larger image!

Great detail!

Owing to the 4 o'clock aster on the moon, your positioning of the moon in the frame works nicely.

I wouldn't mind having a shot with detail this good either! Well done. It might work as a square crop, too.

Normally, solo images of the moon don't do much for me, but this is really well done!
