Decided to try this when our weather finally broke at the end of January. Managed to get to the full moon with only a couple of misses before we went back to constant cloud cover.

My first time trying something like this. I never paid much attention to how much the moon rotates in the sky as it goes through the phases until I had to rotate ever picture to line up with the full moon...lol

All shots were taken hand held using an XS with a Canon 55-250mm IS at at 250mm. All shot in manual and I think they were all f/11. Shutter speeds of course varied for each. Sharpening, contrast, desaturation and brightness adjustments all done on the RAW files in DPP then converted to JPEG and combined using Gimp.

The full size is on my flickr.

Hope you like it! :D

Nice to see such lovely work with what some would call humble equipment.
