Thanks again, guys...much appreciated! Personally, I think I could have done better, and I know I will with practice! Actually, to take the picture I was using my monopod braced against my deck railing. I was keeping an eye out for something that might cross and just got lucky. I was hoping for something bigger!

Absolutely stunning!

Chuck- excellent shot- He is flying over Apollo 11's landing spot- the Sea of Tranquility. Can't quite make out the lunar module descent stage on the moon.....
Were you using a tripod focused on the moon and snapped when he crossed?
