[QUOTE="Clovishound, post: 787372, member: 50197"] Mine were shot with a Z5. The Z6 should be even better in low light than mine. The AF works fine for me. not sure how much focus is a major factor with moon shots. An F stop or two down and depth of field should take care of any minor discrepancies. I shoot mine with a small AF area. As long as the little red box is somewhere on the moon, it grabs focus well. Biggest problems I have are camera shake and having to crop so heavily. I need to get serious and set up my tripod very securely, and use remote control to trip the shutter. Bringing my ASA setting down to minimum would help, as well. Usually, I just pop outside and take a couple quick snaps before the mosquitos make off with my camera. I also need to plan ahead and have my camera in a warm location. It's humid enough in the late evening/early night that the glass fogs up pretty badly going from A/C to outside. That big piece of glass on the front has a lot of thermal mass, and takes quite a while to warm enough to stop fogging up. [/QUOTE]
