The moon tonight.

busterboy · 11-12-2005, 16:47

I thought I would get the big Canon 300mm f/2.8 lens out tonight as the moon was showing its head. I stacked the lens with both the 2X and the 1.4X converters and got this shot..

Now the downside...

Taken at F10 I noticed I had several dust bunnies on my sensor.

Out with the Digi-Pad and Eclipse cleaning fluid and made a start..

I cleaned my 20D on a couple of occasions with success and the 1DMk2 went just the same..

Now to get my underware in the washer..

I moved from zooms to primes in my quest for sharpness..

Is that a 100% crop?

Fantastic shot there m8.

If you look real closely, you can see the mess the americans left on there after their last picnic

Awesome shot

Its a great shot BB.
Did you use a high ISO? As there's quite a bit of noise.

busterboy · 12-12-2005, 16:09

Yes Matt f10 @ ISO 800, What do you recommend for this type of shot mate..

Matt · 12-12-2005, 16:47

You should be able to use ISO100
DoF isn't that important, as the moon is too far away for it to make a differance.

dod · 12-12-2005, 17:12

I haven't had a chance to try it yet but I read something the other day suggesting F8 and 1/250 at ISO 200.

Nice shot
