Moon over Germany on the 4th of july 2009.
Three days to go until full moon.

The conditions for moon observation were rather good tonight, just a wee bit of haze in the sky considering the urban location I'm in.
Auto focus doesn't work with the 500mm lens when combining it with the teleconverter. The DOF is incredibly shallow so getting the focus spot on is a bit of a lottery win (no, the moon is *not* exaclty at the "infinity" setting). Had numerous almost-but-not-quite-sharp pictures until I finally got this one.

Nice shot.
