2 Shots of the moon

Wouldn't F8 and 1/60 be better than F11 and 1/30?
I think there is a bit of motion blur on your moon...

Except from that they are huge, you really have some potential with the lens you used

Just experimenting. Wanted to get some quick shots to post. Next time will try lots of settings to see what I can get.

Here's[flickr] another moon shot I took last night, with a catadioptric lens borrowed from a colleague.

The lack of sharpness is disappointing, but I guess I can't expect too much from a mirror lens.

The 1024 x 1024 version is a 1:1 crop of the original.

Yea see what you mean. Did you use mirror lockup and cable release?

Yep (IR remote, not cable though)

Very nice detail Anke. Great shot. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks, yours inspired me to post Its interesting to see the difference in viewing angle between yours and mine in the space of a week.

i was waiting for the moon to show over the houses here in NNJ around 11pm and nothing. I know when it first rises my god is it an erie orange glow, but looks so much larger too. But its also windy so most shots would be bad anyway.

I saw we still petition for a sticky moon thread!!!!!

Yes we still want a moon sticky.!!!!!!
Yes the moon does tend to look larger when close to the horizon, strange.

Regardless of the moon's elevation, the distance between an observer (at the center of the horizontal line) and the moon remains constant (unfilled circles). However, a moon perceived as growing closer as its elevation increases (filled circles), must appear to grow smaller. Credit: PNAS, Jan. 4, 2000 issue.
