Nice shots. Very sharp. I took some moonage last night myself - I can only hope mine turn out half as well as yours.

It sure does. John K produces his images at 16m!

I've had a go at 2.5m and it's not that good. It settles down a lot near zenith (around 2am at the moment) but I'd suggest waiting a month or so 'till it's earlier if you want any sleep.
