[QUOTE="Pierro, post: 60249, member: 8517"] Great info - this is almost exactly how i shoot moonshots. Tewy, you have to remember that the Moon is always moving, so 1/180th or 1/200th is about right. Use the lowest ISO you can get away with, F8/F11 is best for aperture. Tripod, Mirror up and remote firing will all help, as will Live View if you have it. If you shoot RAW, leave WB on auto. If you shoot JPEG, use daylight WB, because the Moons' light is merely reflected sunlight If you have a TC, may as well use that too. My first ever decent moonshot ( there were plenty of failures ) was with a really old 1970's Manual Focus Tamron 70-350 zoom and Pentax DSLR and the 2nd Crescent Moon photo was again the Pentax but this time with a dedicated Astro Scope which I adapted to mount on the body [/QUOTE]
