I finally captured the moon.. after about 8 exposures and some playing in photoshop (one exposure that was the closest with the best clarity)
I was using the Optek 500-1000mm with a Opteka x2 extender
But tbh.. it doesn't change the focal distance so i guess the lens is 500mm without the extender and 1000mm with the extender...
so i guess the image was taken at 1000mm (although i made exif say 500...)
+ a 1.6x crop sensor = 1160mm or 800mm
No idea what the aperture was... (it is a ring thingie i just opened it full... no idea what it is...
Support:
A £30 tripod... that was rubbish, anytime i locked the head in place, let the camera go, it then decided to fall a bit (so the moon wasnt in the view)
so put my thinkin cap on and used my monopod on my camera as a 4th leg to keep the camera at w/e height i set it at... still took allot of work...
anyways here ya go...
