It's pretty sharp anyway, I've got a handheld shot of the moon on the OM-D (with no e-shutter) that looks amazing - of course I have tripod mounted e-shutter shots of the moon too - taken from the luxury of an arm chair using LUMIX LINK

I agree, an amazing shot to be proud off. I was more responding to the other guys...It is very tricky to get the long focal length sharp, even with image stabilisation. I just got myself a "monster" of a lens, a Pentacon 300mm F4, see how that goes, see if I can lift it!

How do you take shots of the moon from our armchair, have you got a mount with sideral drive? The moon goes through my viewfinder in a minute, I would love to get a mount for at least 2-3 min exposures (not hte moon, obviously).
