I've been meaning to get around to trying some astrophotography with my Nikon D40 SLR camera. I recently got a Gorillapod SLR mount, and tonight was a nice clear night with a full moon. After only a few minutes outside I was able to get the following picture (cropped). It's not bad for the first time out.

Shutter: 1/800
