First shot of the moon I've done. Taken with my 300D+ canon 200mm F2.8L and Kenko pro 1.4X extender. Taken in manual 1/250th F6.3 ISO400, manual focus, handheld. I did actually focus stack 2 shots for this but not sure it made any difference. Some levels adjustment in PS plus of course the pic is cropped.
This is one of my rare non- macro shots.

Lord V awesome, One of the best moon shots I've seen. Alot better then mine. and the reason I got my 20D was for astro images. I guess I have alot to learn and also get better lens.

Thanks for the comments all.
Must admit it did come out better than I expected especially as it was nearly a full moon.

Hey, great shot.

If you don't mind my asking, what was the reason for the focus stacking? I would have thought that the moon would have been fully in focus at infinity whatever?

Thanks Mgdh,
The focus stacking was just an experiment to see if there was a chance of getting more detail- think I proved to myself last night it doesn't- took some more shots and the single shots had the same detail viz

Stacking is use for more Deepsky objects. To get a longer exosure time. Evan with tracking equipment it with still wonder. So what we do it take alot of shorter exposured images then stack them together. To get a brighter image. If you go to http://www.NJNIGHTSKY.​com (external link) and look in the gallery youll see a bunch so images that have been stacked. You'll see something like 8x15 stacked which is equal to a 2 min exposure.
