Nice shots but try a little bit of sharpening to bring out the craters.

[dakid]

Did you try taking it from different sides?

[philipfirth1983]

Did you try taking it from different sides?

No why?

I tried tonight as well, the moon at the time was partially obscured by haze/cloud so it's a bit grainy but I'm not too unhappy with it.(hand held sigma 50-500@500 1/400th f8)

Quick question for you Steep. It states the person who took this is Tom Wright but he doesn't own the camera anymore. How do I chance it to me?

[gibbo]

[Steep]

That's excellent!

Re changing the name of the cameras owner, If I remember correctly you have to connect the camera to the PC and use Canons software to change it, the instructions on how to do it should be in the manual.

[PapaLazarou]

What kind of info would you like?

What camera you used the lens, F stop used and all that.

[philipfirth1983]

Camera is a Canon 350D Lens, Tamron 200-400 5.6 IF. F11 @ 1/160.

Thanks, when ever I try a moon shot it just dont come out good.

What settings are you using? Are you shooting on a tripod? I did use a remote shutter release on mine. That might help.

When you say they aren't good what wrong with them?

[PapaLazarou]

The last time i tried i used a tripod with a canon 20D, Sigma 100-300 F4 lens at F8 and a shutter speed of 250th sec. Just couldnt ever get a nice sharp image, dont know why.

What iso were you on? I'm only round the corner in Hyde if ya wanna have a try with my lens.

[scraggs]

That is so much better, just as a matter of asking is that the first shot edited ?

Have you tried it with mirror lock up and self timer to try and get rid of camera shake

[PapaLazarou]

Tried it also with my Canon 70-200 F2.8 L but always came out s~i#. Will try it next time with mirror lock up. And thanks for the lens offer Philipfrith1983, I bet I know you, I know every one in Hyde.
