    nice pictures. what camera/lens are you using? I tried to take a couple w/ my SD630. 3x optical zoom doesnt do much. I now have a couple pictures of a big white dot.

    I just used the timer. I am really not sure on the settings. I think the Shutter speed was at 3" and aperture was at like 9 or so.

    Cropped from the big pic, I was using the small tree in front of my yard as my tripod. 2 sec shutter, 400 ISO speed. Taken with Canon Rebel XT w/ SIGMA HyperZoom 28-200mm 1:3.5-5.6 MACRO lens

    You should've tried to get some shots of Saturn while you were at it. It's the bright "star" at about the 8-o'clock position relative to the moon. My neighbor had his telescope out this evening and showed me; pretty cool.

    I did get one shot of the saturn, its hard to get a pic of it, cause the moon is so bright.

    Nice pics, ya'll. My camera is still too cold to see if any of mine turned out. Or maybe it's me that's still too cold... Anyway, good shots.

    What are you talking about? I was out watching it in my shorts and a t-shirt.

    Oh yeah, you guys are still in MN.

    I think it hit 85F here today.

    Ft. Myers, FL. Got woken up yesterday morning by the sonic boom from the shuttle landing.
