battery in hand. Its up, running and taking snaps within 5 minutes.

Its about 350k to download though (1 to 2 mins on dial up?).

Hi Chris - nice image and not IMHO out-of-focus. It is perhaps presented a little too large and could benefit [and appear much sharper!] is cropped tight around the moon itself and rescaled to fit a typical PC monitor say 1000 pixels wide. It also saves on file size and download speed if the image is JPG crunched by say 20% but you probably know that anyway.

Good luck.
