Picture of the Moon (taken this last late May)

Hello:

I'm submitting my moon picture. I took it with my Meade and my Pentax ist Ds DSLR. There's only a couple of problems that I can think of. 1. I need to do better in the focusing department. 2. My Meade, at afocal has a narrower field of view than the full .5 degree field I need for the moon.

Does anyone know of a good focal reducer of like .75 times that I could use for photographic use?

Also I kind of like those blue or slightly purple hues that some people give the moon. But I see that mine is slightly brown. I wish that could be better too. But I realize that that could probably be given falsely to the image with an image processing program (like Adobe CS2 or CS4, right?).

Thank you for all of your advice.

David
