Hi All,

I've been away from the boards for my "summer" hiatus and this is my first post since last April. I've been after this shot for three years and it was impossible to do without a camera with mirror lockup. I got a Nikon D200 during the summer and had to wait for perfect conditions to do this, and the whole thing finally came together this morning. Even so I had to use two exposures to accomplish the task, one for the Moon and one for the foreground. This image will print to 20x30 so I'm finally happy smile.

Thanks for looking!

Best,
