It was a bit of a trick to get three shots in before the moon moved.

Use an ISO high enough to get all 3 shots within 1 second. Since my lens was long - 330mm, the whole cycle needed to be fast. The other trick is to use Live view so the mirror stays up as the camera cycles through the shots. I had it set up so the camera did it all without waiting for me to press the shutter three times.Ok, so how did you 3 shots before the moon moved?
Very nice.
Assuming 3 shots 1 stop apart then with the middle shot (the one the camera meter sets) needs to be 1/4 sec or faster. Then the 1st shot (-1ev) would be 1/8 sec and the 3rd shot (+1ev) would be 1/2 sec so all 3 would be less than 1 second total.Does shutter speed in the 125 range work for capturing moon without motion?
Thanks. I went out on that moon and didn't get what I was after. Will try again next go-round
