I'd love to Gary unfortunately its chucking it down here in not so sunny Cornwall with approx 200yds visibility and 30 mph + winds...... oh and the wifes switched the central heating on its that cold.
 
Complete cloud cover here :(

In true blue peter style, here's one I made earlier (febuary!) though.

I like that EdinburghGary (sorry i cant tell you how to make it better...another thread)

but it's not quite full is it - shadow on the right side brings detail out on the craters
takes me back to the days when i sat in my garden with a 8" reflector telescope freezing my nuts off....
 
the moon is a complete and utter ba%$£rd to shoot, I can never seem to get it very sharp :(

Nice shot though Gary ;)

This was the best I've managed in the few attempts, taken last november mind you..

 
We only have clouds here.......:thumbsdown:

PS......Gary,crap shot..........:lol:
 
VERY nice Gary...... looks just the same here mate :p

What exposure did you use Gary, i'm guessing 30sec+ ?
 
:( It's really clear here but I managed to leave my tripod at a mates earlier in the week!

Good shot mind.
 
Just been out but it's more overcast that I thought. Oh well!

Not fair! I want to play. Own up. Who nicked the moon? Grrrrr, west coast weather strikes again.
 
I want to take pics of the moon but my 70-200 dose not really get what im after, ill give it a crack at some point
 
Here's one I made earlier.

I must admit I'm always a bit surprised when people say how hard it is. This was done with a Canon 100-400L at 400mm, with a 2x Extender which meant that (a) I had to focus manually, and (b) the IQ was degraded by the Extender. And it was hand-held. And it was taken during the day. I think it came out OK, considering.

I think its the pin sharp super contrast which a lot of moon shots lack (all of mines included). I have only seen one or two crispy, super detailed moon shots, and I dunno how to do them like tha.

Lovely shot BTW.

Gary.
