Well, a day late but the weather's been shocking the last few days! Still a lovely view tonight.
First session with new 400D, playing with various adjustments in Manual mode. This one was ISO 100, F/5.6, 6-sec, autofocus, and just the 18-55mm kit lens. Tripod mounted.
Very nice Rob - a terrific atmospheric looking photo. Looks like you have quite a decent, dark observing location? Great results for a new camera – I’d be all fingers and thumbs!

very true Dennis, but at least they are opposing
Excellent Image Rob, you moon is pretty good considering the difficulty in getting that right settings.
Well done Rob, a great first light. The stock 18-55 lens is fine for starting off with, it's not great around the edges at 18mm but it can still take nice photos.
As a next budget ugprade, you might want to look at the 17-70mm sigma - a very nice lens, which a number of IIS'ers have invested in lately.
Still a lovely view tonight.
