I think all my pics will get better if i use one of noise reduction spftwares.
there are alot of these softwares and i have to choose one good enough for removing or decreasing noise at least, recommend me one?
Neat Image? Ninja Noise? ......?

I wish for that level of blackness in the night sky.

What do u mean?
by the way, i didn't use any TC for those shots because i feel that TC with zooms not as good as primes with TC, even primes with TC is sharper than some zooms without TC.

I live in a city. It's all sodium orange glare around me. I'd probably have to drive for at least an hour to get proper blackness in the sky.

He means light pollution. The UK is overpopulated and that's taken its toll on the visibility of the night sky.

Here's my moon shot 20d 500f4isL + 1.4tc 1/100sec f7.1 iso 200 and cropped.
agree more detail to see if the moon is not full.

Eddit i used the self timer .

I know that with alot of manmade light around you can't see black night sky, even you can't see stars clearly, thats wht you all mean.
good that i can shoot moon with so dark black clear sky from my house.

Here's my contribution to the "moon shot" thread... 1DMk2N, 400 f/2.8L II, TC1.4 + TC2. Wimberly gibal head on a Bogen tripod, cable release, mirror up. Still a very shaky beast.

Gave it another shot....

WOW!

I am not sure who took the above pic of the moon, but I think it looks awesome here is what he had to say:
Quote:
This image is a mosaic of 15 separate and slightly overlapping 8.2 megapixel images from my Canon EOS-20D (unmodified), taken in Raw mode and converted and stitched together in Photoshop CS2. As you can see from the EXIF data, the exposures were each 1/5 second at ISO 100.

Though the moon is generally made of gray, dusty material it is very bright, photographically, since it is bathed in sunlight.

I mounted my 20D to my Meade LX200 GPS UHTC 10" Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope via my 2x Televue Powermate (a focal length doubler, similar to a teleconverter, which also serves to mate my camera to the 2" telescope eyepiece tube). Effective focal length was 5000mm f/20.

Looking through the viewfinder I swept across the surface in a zig-zag fashion, trying for about 1/3 overlap between frames. I triggered the shutter with my TC80-N3 remote timer/controller. I did the stitching by hand in Photoshop.

Since it is tremendously downsized from the original mosaic, which was almost 40 megapixels, and was taken at the camera's most noise-free setting (ISO 100), the data is very accurate, and thus I was able to strongly increase the saturation via Photoshop's Image - Adjust - Hue/Saturation function.

That moon shot Edgar looks PS'd. In all the shots I have ever seen of the moon I have never seen it with color like that because I don't think it has color like that. It almost looks like one of those types of images that shows the moon 1 million years ago or something. Interesting and awesome shot but it doesnt look like the Moon Lunar.

yes the moon does have colouration like that.
