[QUOTE="westmill, post: 56340, member: 9330"] The moon is a bright object so shutterspeeds should be rather short I would expect. Like Pierro says... Tripod is rather important as is using low ISO. If you dont have a Tripod... Use anything you can to steady your lens. Also... if you dont have a tripod.... just remember you need a shutter speed at least the equivlent to the focal lengh of your lens. A 200mm = 300mm on DX which means you would be looking at 500th sec if hand held. I think a lot of people forget to take the DX into account. If you are using a tripod, this eleminates most of the need for a shutter speed to counter telephoto efects. Use your spot meter too ! Either set auto bracketing and or use your plus and minus compensation dial. This will garuantee a perfect exposure. [/QUOTE]
