Wednesday Nights Moon and clear sky give me the chance to fire off a shot or two from the comfort of my front door..... no tripod was used I simply leaned against the door frame and took the shot. I had been told that below and to the left of the moon could be seen Mars.... it was in fact just a speck, but a red speck at that. I found it very hard to focus on... but after a few tries this was the best result from simply pointing the camera and shooting. I loaded this in Googles Picasa 3 and tightly cropped it. Ha! not the best shot of Mars I've seen, but its 'my' shot and that's what matters.

I love a full moon. It makes me feel giddy.
Excellent shots Tom.
Wowee, great moon. And Mars is really red!! I love your Mars.
Top marks Tom my friend.
one last visit b4 Twangy gets at my puter.
Your mars shot is certainly a "ha, I gocha!" capture. Nice work Tom.
Nice work Tom. I'm still working to get a good shot of the moon.
....not as easy as it sounds.
Tom: Oh so cool, great Moon shot. You really can see the red in our closest neighbor.
I bow for you shot of Mars - I wouldn't even know were to find it!
That's amazing Tom! What lens were you using?
