Moon over Grampians

Hi all, went to the grampians for the weekend and took heaps of images but only a few of a celestial target. I connected the D70 to the Orion ED at prime focus and got these shots of the Moon coming up over one of the ranges where we stayed.

All shots taken on manual with high ISO and 400- 1000 of a second.

Anyway here you go.

Great shots Paul, a few trees in the pic makes it even better to look at.

That settles it, the popular vote is for the first image...that's the one for Sky and Space

I'd second that.. you could probably also do some selective processing to bring out a bit more detail on the moon.

Here's my 2 minute effort, i'm sure you could do better.
