Almost First Quarter...
Much easier tonight! A lower angle and way fewer clouds make for a happy photographer.
I used my tripod, cable release and my right angle viewfinder, all to my satisfaction. Hope you all enjoy.

Tell me about clouds! They are a PAIN!
Very kind of you.
I'm glad tonight's picture wasn't another pain in the neck - we get enough of that from D.C.
Your mention of a right-angle viewfinder makes me curious - what equipment do you use for your lovely lunar photos?
Well, what equipment?
Yeah, the right angle view finder if the moon is up too high! Also, my tripod for stability and less shaking, for a clearer image. And my cable release for even less shaking.
Thank you for your very kind remarks!
Do you use a telescope, and what kind of camera do you use? You've probably mentioned this in the past, but I've forgotten. 
No, I've never had a telescope. My camera is a Nikon D3200 and my lens is a Tamron 18--400 mm (made for Nikon).
My refractor telescope needs one, but I had no idea they made them for cameras.
BTW, that's a nice bit of kit you have there! 
Always glad to share.

As said in my note, I was absolutely stunned after seeing how much more information there was in your photo!
1) Converted to B&W
2) Brought to full range on mid-tones and contrast
3) 50% heavy sharpen
That is amazing!
How did you accomplish this?
And this is a jpeg. Imagine what it would be like if I were shooting in RAW.
Thank you so much.
Picture Window Pro. Hmmm. I'll check it out!
