Nice shot but have you tried processing it? I use Paintshop Pro and here's my results:

The exact processing required depends on your camera and you have to experiment.

You've caught a lot of detail but a bit of processing will really bring it to life.

Phillip is right.
Here is your first shot.....



edited shot.....



Look at the details in the craters along the edge. I am NO Pro at imaging, but if you learned the tricks of post editing you could really get the same pic to stand out like something amazing!

Great job on your capture!

That's the problem for all of us (work!). You may find my "Low Tech Moon" thread interesting.
