Well done. Perfect exposure, excellent detail. Shooting the moon may
not be original, but I sold my last moon shot as stock. Have you tried
the Pentax A2X-S converter on that 500? It works reasonably well on my
A400/5.6.

Recently I discovered the sharpness "sweet spot" in my Pentax 500mm
4.5 is at f11. Last night featured what was apparenly the largest
full moon of the year, so I went out and shot it when it was almost
straight above me.

This image, shot with my K10D, is 800x800. If I had left the crop
at 100%, it would have been 919x919. I applied some unsharp mask to
reduce atmospheric blur, but I may have overdone it a bit. I truly
wish I could find an affordable teleconverter that wouldn't make my
500 look like it had vaseline on the front element.
Anyway, this was just for fun. I'm not expecting comments or
anything, but thanks for looking. :)
