Hi all,

This is my first moon image, taken just as the cloud rolled in again and completely covered the sky

Hi AStroman, that's a damn fine shot for a first effort (or second, third etc). The focus looks a tad off which is making it a bit soft - is it manual focus for you? I found it hellishly difficult to get sharp focus with the webcam until I got an electric focusser.

cheers,
