Bob-

Thanks- Its dead easy, all you need is a t-ring, eyepiece adapter and a $10,000 telescope. I took another lunar picture with my own 80 mm telescope. Its image, after sharpening, looked just about like the posted image, before sharpening.

The slate carver was a genuinely nice guy, and a great craftsman. He said he started out as a graphic designer, developing new fonts.

Michael,
Nice moon shot.  I was drawn to the slate carver photos.  I've never
seen that done before.
Regards,  Bob S.

The moon through an $8000 telescope, a blues jam, and a Welshman carving
text into slate.

I took a basic astronomy class, and one night the teacher opened up the UofM observatory, and let me bolt my K100D to the 7 inch, f9 telescope. We were
both happy with the results.

The Blues Jam were members of a local Blues Society-
http://www.acousticblues.com/ And the Welsh Slate Carver was part of this
year's Smithsonian Institution's Folk Life Festival.

The Blues Jam and Slate Carver were posted for the participants, so I posted
a few images that otherwise might not have made the cut.

Comments or Criticisms?

Cheers
Mike
