Lens of 500 mm + or Telescopes of 900mm work well.

Here's one from May 30, 2005 taken handheld with my P&S camera. Some obvious post processing added.

Made this shot with my Sigma 70-200mm:

Canon rebelxt | 1/2000s | f2.8 | ISO 200


Things done in PS:
1. Cropping
2. Unsharpen mask it a bit

Took this tonight w/ my el cheapo Quantaray AF 70-300/4-5.6 @ 300mm on the K10D. If I had realized that it would be rising such that it would be coming up just across the parking lot from me -- I wouldn't have rushed across town to photo it from a friend's roof top... only to realize I left the quick release for the tripod at home. Oops. Got home and it was already several degrees above the horizon. So - no bigger than 4x6" print, heh. Live + learn!

Photoshop = cropping / sharpen / curves
