I notice that the moon in your photo appears elliptical as it did in mine...Must be an illusion.

Atmospheric distortion I guess. The closer to the horizon, the more it distorts perhaps.

Those two moon photos of yours were wonderful, kdog. That second one looks like a postcard!

Photoshop CS5 does a pretty good job of stacking images, just go to File > Scripts > Load Files into Stack. Once you have the result of that, go to Edit > Auto-Blend Layers. Of course, this only works if you have Photoshop.
Thanks. I do have CS5, but haven't tried focus-stacking. Sounds simple enough.

Let us hope so.

And speaking of illusion...

In my case, I ended up admiring the setting moon while speeding on I-20 towards West Texas.

I was able to take the tripod out for a few minutes to grab this one, but there was a large Rat Snake sitting where I needed to be. I was going to break out the big gun camera and lens after this one, but he just stared at me for a while and after a few minutes he started creeping me out so I went back inside. I think he was thinking, "Damn, I could eat for a month off of this guy". LOL.
