Did you take these? Surely these aren't point & shoot pictures? i've taken pictures like this of the moon, but only by hooking up my Nikon camera to my telescope. Anyway, wicked pics!!

yes took the first on my way to my Mam's and the other one on my way home. Full zoom, point and shoot, bit tricky keeping it steady though !

Thanks

Great, TB!!

so how come the moon changes it's angle after 2 hours ?

wow! the detail is impressive.

So you didn't use a tripod on this? I just can't get over the detail, it really is impressive...you must have super steady hands - if I tried this without a tripod, the result would be a lovely white blur. ;

no I haven't got a tripod. I zoom in and when the image becomes clear, I take the picture. A few that you aren't seeing turn out blurred. Usually takes about 3 or 4 attempts.

Very nice! I've never had luck with any pictures involving the night sky.

Your camera must have a large zoom then to be able to capture it so close and clear, nice one! Have you ever tried taking stars?

my camera zoom is 30 x

I was walking along last night and I noticed even though it was a clear sky, there wasn't many stars in the sky.

Whoa awesome camera you have. Well try taking stars when you can! If it's even possible.
