[QUOTE="Don Kuykendall_RIP, post: 175879, member: 6277"] I tried I don't know how many times to get a good shot on the moon. I would pick the best night, no clouds, not to hot and not to cold. I would set up the tripod and get ready. Never would get a really shot. It would also be slightly out of focus or blurry. One night i had been out shooting all afternoon and was just getting home. It was dark and the moon was beautiful So I just threw up the camera and shot. I didn't even bother to see how I had it set. I went in and uploaded all the shots from the day onto the computer and started checked the day's shots. The moon was at the end. IT WAS PERFECT!! Grabbed the camera and checked everything. Single Point Focus Spot Meter Program ISO 400 I think Minimum shutter speed 1/250 sec That all makes sense now that I think about it. Everything was just on the moon with no regards to the dark sky. Just the bright moon. I have tried it a number of times since and it always works for me. The only shot that has been better was when I set it on Continuous fire and got like 5 shots back to back and then did focus stacking with them in PhotoShop. It was sharp as a tack that time.
