Camera Fun at Maximum Zoom


OK so I tried the full optical zoom to 10x and then ran the digital zoom all the way up on top of that for a total magnification of probably about 40-50x.  And it was taken freehand out in the cold and I expected fairly comical results, but with some digital enhancement and messing with the light curves and running the image through an unsharp mask, it was possible to coax some craters and details out of the image.  It it isn't anything like taking a picture through a real telescope, but for an unaided digital camera for under a hundred bucks, it's just dandy!
