Tonight's waxing moon (2007-11-21)

Taken with Canon IXUS900Ti handheld against a 25mm plossl objective lens on a D=130mm F=1000mm reflector telescope

The top right is a bit fuzzy as it's suffering a bit from the vignetting. You can also see slight chromatic aberration (It's not THAT good a scope [grin])

Best focus region was designed to be the Southwest on the terminator.

Mrs D wasn't too happy that I was busy shooting the moon instead of helping get dinner ready.

The price we pay for decent pictures.

I took a photo of the Full Moon tonight also. My usual camera can't do a good job, so I used the single-shot capability of a JVC digital movie camera with 32X zoom. It did a pretty good job. I like your closeup. Well done.
