Ok, which one of you is eating my moon?
(This is about the best moon-shot I can do. I need a new camera.)

In the end, the only way to get a faster shutter speed was to point the camera at a bright light in the house, half-press the shutter, then point it out the window at the moon while keeping the shutter half-pressed the whole time. Sigh. |
