WOW!!!

You must have been in the right place at the right time.  Did you zoom in?

Really nice shot.

Kassie just pointed out the the white dot below the moon.  Is it a star?  If so, is it mars?

Neil, that's lovely.

My late husband was so very interested in astronomy and he would love to have seen your photo.

Last night we had an orange moon here.

At the risk of "mooning" over it, I too think this is a great shot.  It's interesting that on the left-hand edge of the moon you can plainly see the high and low points silhouetted against the sky.  Great!

Yes, it's a great shot, obviously cropped a great deal, but with the detail holding very well. 

Many people think the perfect time to take a shot is during a full moon, but actually you want a bit of shadow; the side lighting really shows up the mountains and details, as it does in this shot.
