I think it was about 2 hours before sunset when I took this. I used my 100-400mm with a Tamron 1.4x and Promaster 2.0x TC.

Thanks for the tip. I'd say that I'm new to astrophotography, but this is pretty much the extent of my taking pictures of celestial bodies and probably as far as I'll get! I'll experiment and see if i can dial down the contrast and the sharpening. I tend to have a habit of 'over doing' my post processing. Gotta break that one! I was trying to emphasize the craters in the moon and got carried away. Visit my Facebook Page

I got lucky - I bought it on Fredmiranda from an excellent seller and got a real sharp copy. I was impressed with the detail - even going through two non-Canon TCs. I tried a similar shot with my old Soligor 400mm 6.3 and there was no comparison. Visit my Facebook Page

genzbenz THREAD STARTER Senior Member 628 posts Likes: 1 Joined Oct 2009 Location: Cincinnati, OH More info | Thanks for the suggestions. I have a decent tripod (Induro - although I'm definitely planning on getting some sturdier legs) and I was using the remote release. I actually took a few shots with the 1.4x and a few with the 2.0x, but didn't feel like I was getting enough detail. I'll try that again at a higher shutter speed. I believe I was at 1/400 on this one. If you don't mind my asking, what were your settings/configuration on your shot? It's fantastic! Visit my Facebook Page
