I think the dramatic pictures taken from space probe these days has taken something from the excitement of astro-photography (and in particular observational astronomy.)
Well, I was taking the camera through its paces. Here the moon just a tad before first quarter. For a "point and shoot" it performed remarkably well. The telephoto 90mm (equv 500mm) showed the craters quite nicely (the Ptomelaeus group on the terminator.) but the chromatic abberation was marked. Converting to black and white removed most of it. (For normal photos this abberation was less important; eg see next post of the Grey Heron.)
