[QUOTE="Fred Kingston_RIP, post: 787406, member: 10742"] Yes I agree...The D300 is better IMO... some side notes... The D300 12M image was at a lower native ISO versus the D810... I should re-do them at a lower ISO... and will tonight... Also, these were all handheld...I'll use a tripod tonight. There is another aspect in play here that I should mention... In all my moon shots (I do them frequently) ... There are different positions of the moon thru-out the year... I'll try to explain it in non-technical terms because I'm not an astronomer. Sometimes, the light that hits the moon hits it at a direct 90º angle and there are NO shadows in the craters or along the edges... other times, the light seems to be at a different angle that creates longer shadows in the craters... <--those are the best because they give more definition to the craters and edges making for a better over-all image...IMO...
