Craters on the moon

I just received my 500mm lens and 2x teleconverter and couldn't wait for a clear night. Here is a shot of the moon ( waxing gibbous) on march 13th 2011. Unfortunatly the sky was starting to cloud over and I had to pack up sooner than I wanted to. Here You can clearly see craters on the moon. This saturday March 19th will be the day ( or night) that the moon will be closest to the earth ( 18% closer) since 1992.. this phenomenon is also called a "lunar perigee".
