Joe, don't discount point and shoots. The wife took better shots with her camera than I did with the SLR. Mine were OK, about 15 decent ones out of 30 or so pics taken.

More practice is needed, and I need to remember to take all filters off at night.

Skinnywater,
" I need to remember to take all filters off at night. "

Not entirely true. If you have a DIGITAL UV filter on the lens, leave it on all the time. If it doesn't say "Digital" you are not getting the sharpest picture. At night and indoors DO remove a Polerizer filter as it blocks out light and will slow the shutter speed too much.

Not sure if its digital, but I did have some mirror like reflection below the moon.
