That's really good with a hand held camera Roger, I am sure the Moon must have been drifting pretty quickly on your Newtonian.  
Hmmm I can see you're going to get into Astrophotography, better start saving!!!!

What scope were you using Roger? Maybe you should yourself a camera to eyepiece holder, something like this on fleabay (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/UNIVERSAL-TELESCOPE-CAMERA-ADAPTOR-MOUNTING-BRACKET-DIGITAL-SCOPE-EYEPIECE-MOUNT-/370735428195) as for a first attempt these images are good going.
