Moon Shots - There's Hope Yet!

[PhotoXopher]

Thanks guys!

I took another one tonight and I think I'm going to be happy with the results. This one was:

200 ISO (base)
1/160th
F16 (it's a bright one!)

I'll download/upload it at work tomorrow and post it up!

Thanks for the help, it's a trick subject to nail but thankfully it moves slow

..... but thankfully it moves slow

Sorry, but that is incorrect. The moon moves rather quickly through the sky.
That is the misnomer. Thus another part of the equation for a fast shutter speed..... along with the brightness.

Tried my hand at a star trail while I was at it, I could only see one but there were many more captured.

Here's my latest moon attempt... not real thrilled with it, but it was taken on a tripod at F/18 and 1/200 (ISO200).

Good shots! I went out to experiment with the moon last night. I didn't do as well as you. I really was thinking that I needed longer shutter speeds....but it just didn't work out. I was up above 20sec on shutter, and at that point I wonder if the earths rotation caused blur?

Either way, I'll be trying again. Thanks for posting.
