For myself I'll try my R5, EF 300 f2.8 IS II + 2xIII.

Weve got cloud and rain forcast for northwest england up to now, hopefully that will change for the better ...fingers crossed

thanks for the heads up.....

thick cloud cover where I live - 29th and 30th

Might try for the moonset on 31st. Fingers crossed.

Remember folks, it will be here soon!

Here's my attempt at the supermoon.

Here is mine from this morning.

Here's what it looked like from Brisbane on Thurs 31st August 2023.

I pumped up the Colour Saturation on #2 to reveal the regions rich in certain minerals, Iron and Titanium I think.

30 Frames stacked, with the camera/lens mounted on my tracking mount.

I found out last night you really do need something longer that a 70-200 even with a 1.4 extender on to get good shots of the moon, some of the posts on here are excellent

Excellent shots at 1200mm.

Thanks, it really helps to have a tracking mount which keeps the Moon fixed and centred in the frame, so you can take your time to get the settings and focus correct without having to chase the Moon across the skies.
