Awesome shot there Joe!

Care to share some technical info?
Which lens, what settings(ISO, etc), any post processing?

Thanks, Ohjay.

This photo is a product of another facet of photography I've been working on for the last few years....digiscoping!
I locate and focus on my subject with my spotting scope (Vortex Skyline 80) set at 20X; then I use my smaller point-and-shoot (Panasonic Lumix) for the shot, usually set at 2-4X.
I've used this technique extensively with birds and have been very pleased with the results. :D

Interesting technique.
Whenever I've tried to take a photo of the moon, the results have been uniformly disappointing.
You've got a winner.

That's amazing Joe! Thats as good or better than any crescent moon shot I've seen. The tips of the fade-outs are sharp!
