Thanks – I used a Canon xsi set to ISO 100 @ f5.6 and 1/160sec.
Can you explain what you mean by BW? I’m not sure what
you are asking.

For BW or as most of us call it WB, I usually
let the camera decide and leave on auto. If
you watch Oksana’s tutorials she points out
that by changing WB in post you can achieve some
really interesting effects. She also has an excellent
tutorial on photographing the moon at night. If you
haven’t yet watched it please do – all of her tutorials
are very well done and also very informative.

Welcome to the “Moonies”, Dale.
Indeed… We now have a winner so far.

I am surprised at how bright your moon is at the camera’s settings.
300mm, f5.6, 1/160 sec, ISO-100, and 0 step (as provided by the properties).
Was the moon particularly bright that night or… perhaps because of post?

There are far too many craters to attempt to name.
Nice job.

Mandrake.

Hi nikonguy;
Really i don’t know why u name uselve nkonguy if u use a Canon Rebel 70-300 mm Assault Weapons u and Mandrake always will have a handcap over my semi-automatic weapons D5000 am limited to 18-250mm Sigma shortgun. Beside u and mandrake has rifles with barrels with 16-18 mpilxes. So you are in the top level of NFA firearms. So change u name to Rebelguy.

Good to see you back and on the mend!
The settings I listed are correct but I have to admit
I think I have an advantage living up here – the moon
does stand out quite well against the dark sky. Not too
much interference from bright city lights late at night.
Corrections made in post processing but try to keep it
minimal. And Silky – The Canon Rebel I use is a 12megapixel
older model but 12mp is plenty for most situations. Camera
companies are starting to go crazy adding mp’s to sensors.
I would gladly use my D7000 for moon shots but a 35mm lens
does not allow for a large image from a quarter million miles away lol!!!
Want to get a 70-300 for my Nikon and then the old Canon will be a dust
collector.
Dale. PS – Image tightly cropped to have moon fill frame better.

U know nikonguy, I also think to buy a D7000 there is a good deal for me , the 70-300mm is good, but I don’t think you will gain much to get moon huge lengh also mean flat imagen, so before doubt you can go here to see what is best investment.
