FIRST MOONSHOT...

[Steve Parr]

This is my first serious attempt at a moon shot. I employed the 70-300mm QCL at 300mm, 1/250, f/5.6, and cropped the bejeesus out of it:

I'm not real happy with it, as I think the moon was a bit high to get a decent shot. I really had to sharpen this one up, too...

I think I see a little green and pink color impurity in there. I don't think the Moon is actually made of green cheese.

A good color noise reduction program might be able to filter that out.

I think I see what you're talking about. Right along the edges?

Yea, I see it too. Along the edge of the shadow. Not too bad though. Pretty good shot. Try shooting at a 1/400 f/8 ISO 100 next time. See if that works better.

Nice detail. Moon was setting, eh?

Actually, no. It was pretty high in the sky.

Next time, I'll wait until it drops a little!
