The Moon

[carldelain]

I haven't found much about Astrophotography here (I haven't searched terribly long though)
A point in the right direction (if there is one) would be appreciated


I got my first DSLR a couple of weeks ago, and this is the first time i've tried shooting the moon.
Suggestions and opinions are very welcome!

cool! although i think the photo is suffering from a bit of compressed pixelation

What lens did you use??
Can you provide exposure time and Aperture?

Pretty awesome for a first attempt!!

Stevanity: I usually shoot the moon at ISO100 ~ f/8 ~ 1//125s and get good results with that combo.

Mine is almost exactly the same. Even down to the camera :thumbup:

Yeah, I accidentally resized it in Tinypic and it got a little wacky :thumbdown:

It has to be the same.......... it's from your pix's metadata.

Great first moon shot. My first moon picture had zero detail.

Well then! I guess you know better than i do!

Great shot! Try shooting it when it's half-full instead of nearly full; you'll get some amazing shadows along the terminator that give the moon a lot of depth.

Thanks! I'll have to try that in a few days!
