[QUOTE="Rink, post: 810487, member: 52617"] Good afternoon. Thanks, everyone for the suggestions. I’ll try some of these suggested settings and keep working on it. My pics from recently were so bad, I deleted them. So I can’t show them or reference the EXIF data. I believe it was f11, about 1/250 sec, ISO 100. I’ll try to attach here a photo from last year, f6.3, 1/200 sec, ISO 200. It’s ok, not great. Certainly not as much definition as in the Moon pic posted by clovishound above. I think I may have used autofocus on that one, after having trouble getting focus manually.
