yeh, I am going to be investing in a tripod soon, a nice small and light weight one. I had one once, but it was big srong and bulky so had to get rid of it before I moved.
I pretty much got the settings right, I had a browse in the auto modes on my cam then changed them in the manual modes and what I saw was good, just blurred as I couldnt keep the cam still enough.
Im pretty gutted though as my father has a telescope in spain which you can attach cameras to, and it would have been amazing to use, I could have got some really good close-ups of crators etc

Look at the photos sent in by people here on BBC, some of them are brilliant, ecspecially one taken by a 17 year old in Somerset where I live!
