Tonight's Moon

Tonight's Moon taken from my window with the Skywatcher 80ED and Canon 350D
A beautiful Moon rising late in the South East and in full view of my upstairs window. Gosh...I remember doing this with a webcam and a Bushnell 60mm refractor.... started me off with Astro Imaging! I set up the skywatcher 80ED pro and Canon 350D camera pointing out of an open window.
This Moon is 99% full, a lovely clear night with Orion fading in the West. Made one big blunder here when imaging the Moon tonight, I had the ISO set at 1600, which when the image is enlarged is a bit noisy.
