    David this is stunning!!! So sharp and clear, you certainly must have a steady hand (and a good lens).

    Thanks again everyone.

    @psa19 - Yes, well sorta. I have a Canon PowerShot S2 IS, which has a 12x optical zoom (and another 4x digital on top, which I almost never use, except in this circumstance).

    @borealnz - The image stabilisation on the S2 IS, coupled with a bight target (the moon) made this one not too bad on handheld :)

    Can't believe this is handheld - congratulations!
