My first great night shot...

In England, the weather isnt the best for some night time stars photography. This is because of the ever present cloud cover and the light after glow coming from the street lights, especially in small towns, like the one I live in. So instead of the stars, I thought I'll capture a satellite and thus I shot the moon. Now this shot wasn't as easy as the setting wasn't available to me directly, I had to stay up most of the night for the moon to come in the right place and then, without waking up my room-mate, take a snap. This is what I got:
The best part about this picture is that it is very much unaltered, it is as I had got it from the camera, just that I adjusted its sharpness a bit. The sharpness adjustment was required as this was a 1.5 sec exposure shot and I just about managed to stay still. I was too lazy to bring out the tripod. So coming back to the photo, I have to say, this is even more prettier than what I saw last night. Hopefully I can add on to this soon.
