Yep I took this with a 80-400 handheld. Now I want a more bigger lens. LOL.

Color - Well it really wasn't blue. But I thought blue made it more interesting.

I saw that moon last night and it was awesome. Actually, it would be impossible to have a "blue moon" on the 12th of the month. A blue moon can only occur on the 29th-31st. A blue moon is the second full moon in a calendar month. Great shot though. Next I want to see the rings of saturn!

You ought to hook up with Falcondob. He is the official MAAST astronomer.

I suggest this lens here
http://www.precision-camera.com/product/594101

It is only like $6,200 - Pretty darn cool. She will not notice this one on the credit card, I am sure of it! Just say you bought a nice frag or something.

P.S. - Someday I will actually buy something like this thing. SweeT!

LMAO! How'd I miss this??!! Dont make me add another person to the "You're not allowed to talk to them club" ... Todd is the President. You are all bad influences...like the boy needs help spending money :wacko :P :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol But if its for the puppies :wub :angel ......

BTW- Awesome shot Mark!! You should make a calender!

Ohhhhh - Of course. Totally for the puppies and kittens and your neighbors puppies and kittens and the puppies and kittens that are a mile away. :lol

You mean I get to join the newly formed club "YNATTTC". Will it have an online forum? :P

A Calender heh? Three ideas come to mind.

Idea 1 : "Fat old guys of MAAST" - Hmmmmm........ I will file this under "Bad IDEAS" :sick :lol

Idea 2 : "Reef Tanks of MAAST" - Getting Better.....

Idea 3 : "Woman Of MAAST" - Ding, Ding, Ding And the winner is? ;) :lol ;)

BTW - Really wide angle lenses are fun too! So is a fish-eye lens..... But we won't go there just yet.
