That's a cracker for a single shot. Nicely done.


Thank you John. I am test driving this lens thanks to the Canon free 48 hour test drive offer. I must say I am mighty tempted to get one.

Single frame for me this evening with the big Tamron.
This is one of my favourite phases, as it's roughly the same as my first ever telescopic views of the moon, and when I started to learn the names of some of the surface features. Approx 1.5 days since full moon, waning gibbous. Mare Crisium showing off it's ridges, which are visible with modest magnification, Palus Somni (The sea of sleep) next to it, and the great craters Langrenus & Petavius with their central peaks standing proud.

That’s a cracker too John. I agree that this is a great phase of the moon. I confess I don’t know the names of any of the features but feel inspired to learn.

Took this photo of the moon this morning from my garden. Not quite sure the sky was actually this colour but I am colour blind so I will use that as my excuse :)

Nice shot. That's always roughly the colour I end up with on a morning Moon shoot, so you're doing ok :)
Nice contrast for a daytime image as well.

Taken with an OLD (1982) Celestron C90 1000mm f/11 Catadioptric Lens and a cheap 2x multiplier. Jupiter and 4 moons (bottom right) are to scale and shot with the same lens.

Really good details in this one. At least for me, these daytime shots are hard to get right, but I like this one. Well done!:)

Thank you kindly, it was shot hand held using spot metering, then a fair amount of work in post (as we do)
