The ring was very distinct, and very large. With the camera flat on it's back, on the ground, I still couldn't fit the whole thing into the frame. I think I need a wide angle lens... Mark agreed. But the adapter and that lens for this camera together is around $300+! For anyone with a camera with manual settings (Steph, that book goes over stuff like this...) go play with them! I used an ISO of 80, f-stop 2.7, and a 6 second shutter. So my lense was open very wide, for a long time, but not taking in too much light so the moon wouldn't be quite so bright in the photo, hopefully allowing me to get the ring to show.
My screen is quite bright, so I can see the ring clearly. I printed out a copy and I can see the ring in mine. Hopefully all of you can see it in yours, because it was so awesome!
It was gone 30 minutes later....

Oh, I wish we had known - Dave has a professional camera AND a telescope! We definitely would have been out there. Darn! Neat picture.
