Extraordinary good quality. Made with telescope?

Thanks Georg, its not a telescope. I was just trying my new tripod (Manfrotto 190xb)with my d200 & nikkon 300mm 2.8 DX. To see if could handle the wieght.... it did good. The trick is to minimize the camera shake by putting it in mirror up mode.

A source of camera shake that is present on SLR cameras is mirror slap. With single-lens reflex cameras, there’s a mirror mechanism inside the camera which has to be flipped up whenever a photo is taken. Because this mirror is flipped up and down so quickly, there’s a motor flipping it with a lot of force, which for long exposures, even on a tripod, can cause blur in your images. The solution for this problem is a tool called mirror lock-up – it allows you to manually flip up your mirror, allow the vibrations in your camera to settle, and then raise the shutter to start the exposure.

Nice shot! I am still waiting to hear something about the moon shot I have posted! I did use a tripod, but no telescope, and using all my 18X optical and most of the 5.1 digital zoom too. I think under the circumstances it turned out pretty good, but would like your opinion on it as well. If you would be so kind as to take a look and let me know if you have any suggestions on how to improve the shot. Very nice shot with amazing clarity!! Great Job!
