ok, ok, it's not 100% handlehld either's, i'm no robot! here's how i did
it: i supported the camera on the edge of my balcony's rail, to avoid
shaking, but then i had to point it towards the moon with my hands to
get the right angle, so the angle does depend on my hands while the
level is safe on the rail. and then i held my breath in a zen fashion
for that 1sec of exposure. ;)

certainly, but we're talking about an elipse, aren't we ;)
