[QUOTE="TwistedThrottle, post: 721349, member: 46724"] If you are trying to shoot the moon- like to show texture on the surface, set the aperture to f8, iso 800 and 1/800 shutter speed. These are my base settings for the moon and typically play around from there. If you are shooting stars, open the aperture up as much as possible, set the shutter to 10, 15 or maybe 20 seconds and the iso to 1600- 3200+. With these settings, the moon will reflect too much light into the lens and all detail is blown out, so its best left out of the frame. The halos you are seeing in the bottom right side of your frame is called lens flare. Its from having a bright light source bounce the reflection off several layers of lenses inside your lens. Correct this by moving the light source further out of your frame. Also, if you have the camera set to ADL, I dont think you can have it set to record in RAW as well. No bother, typically the areas that are too shaded for a typical shot can be brought back in lightroom. I rarely use ADL -unless your shooting a group of people at night in a doorway and want detail on both the light and dark side of the door out of camera. Its more of a JPG feature. The way to do that with RAW would be to shoot an under exposed image and then an over exposed image (or a combo of several at different exposures) and then use "image stacking" in Lightroom. That way, you keep all the data from the RAW files instead of a single baked image the camera thinks you want. [/QUOTE]
