Glad you like the photos everyone. I think that my moon shots were a little bit out of focus, even though I was focussing manually, and paying very close attention at that. I think I'll go out again tonight and try to get some shots of the moon coming up over the horizon. Hopefully I'll get that focussing issue down this time.

Sean, actually the image of the moon does change in size as it's closer to the horizon, due to the refraction of light as it bends under the earth's gravity. It's not just your frame of reference. Try it out tonight if it's clear where you are. Look at the moon at around 8:25 (right as its rising)- it will be really big and orange, while several hours later, the moon will appear considerably smaller and brighter. It's not just an illusion, and you can prove it by taking telephoto shots at the same focal length, and then comparing later.
