Only just round to processing this after 2 weeks. Previous attempt at jpeg turned out rubbish. I took some specialist advice before attempting this because all my previous attempts at snapping the moon just gave me a white disk. It was suggested that the ideal setting was 125th at f11 and ISO 100. I tried various settings and this was my attempt at improving detail at f14 and 1/60th. I now feel like the first people who ever looked at the moon through a telescope.
D3100
Sigma 70-300mm f/4-5.6 DG Macro
300mm, 1/60th, f14, ISO 100
Manual mode, tripod using 10sec timer
Original shot in RAW
PS. Quite a bit of noise on the black due to processing but easily removed.
