Shooting The Moon

[Scott Whaley]

The temperature is 63 degrees F this evening here in Knoxville, TN. The sky is clear. I decided to go out and take some photos of the moon. I think this one turned out pretty good. I used my Canon 5d mkiv with a Sigma 150-600 Sports Lens, and a 2X teleconverter. Camera mounted on a tripod. Camera settings are: Shutter speed = 1/500 sec., F-stop = f/13, ISO = 800, and white balance set to auto. I like to shoot in manual mode when shooting night shots.

What do you think?

The detail really cones out when you dim the light.

Decent enough.

Great night for shooting the moon but I want to get the telescope out and take advantage of that black ink sky in the background to shoot nebulae. Without pixel peeping it looks like that combination has done a good job. The contrast looks very sharp.
