[QUOTE="AxeMan - Rick S., post: 42180, member: 1746"] Maybe these older threads might help you guys out [URL]http://nikonites.com/general-photography-forum/2361-moon-shots.html[/URL] [URL]http://nikonites.com/photo-critique/1966-full-moon.html[/URL] On a side note turn your AF off. Your camera needs contrast to focus, at night it has no contrast so it becomes confused. Find an object in the distance that is lit up, focus on that and switch your AF off. now your going to have a better chance at being in focus. now you can work more on your settings. Oh yeah, your going to need a tripod, I'm assuming your using one already. [/QUOTE]
