[QUOTE="Browncoat, post: 14988, member: 1061"] Here is the problem. You're not letting in enough light @ ISO 200 and 1/1000, so your moon doesn't show much contrast and shape. When shooting at night, you really have to open things up and let the light in. A couple things: It's going to be darn near impossible to get a good shot of the moon without a tripod. Because your shutter will be staying open longer, the slightest movement will blur your photo. Second, if the D60 has Bulb mode, use it. Bulb mode keeps your shutter open for as long as your holding down the button. 2-3 seconds should be plenty for the moon on a clear night. Even if there's no Bulb mode, you should still be able to do this. Adjust your ISO for more light sensitivity as well. ISO 200 is for noon on a sunny day, not shots of the moon at night. You can probably leave it @ 200 and get away with it, but if there are still light/clarity issues, make adjustments. [/QUOTE]
