Thanks again! Yes I cropped it. I tried using my tripod, but it was actually easier to kneel on my deck and use my railing as a prop.

WOW!!!! Great shots, Chuck!

I wouldn't have guessed it was the 1-4, did you crop?

It reminds me of the telescope shots that are out there.

Thanks everybody! It took some patience waiting for something to cross the moon, but I'm glad I waited. I used my 100-400 lens to catch them.
