A picture I took of the moon last night (Apr 2010) using my 5d Mk II and a 70-300mm Lens. Little bit of ice in the atmosphere causing a light halo but not too bad for a short lens and heavy crop. It's such a fascinating lump of rock, and is ingrained into our history.

Definitely best viewed LARGE!!

Tried the same thing last night. Not as successfully as you. Very well taken.

Cheers Smile

I just stuck to the basics; tripod, low iso, timed shutter, medium high aperture, shutter speed adjusted to create the right exposure and manual white balance eye judged.

1/20, f/18 and ISO 100.

Of course it helps shooting with 21mp for cropping...

Oooh, lovely. We had a talk at our club last night by Nik Szymanek and it's inspired us all to go out and do this. Encouraging to see such a good result with a 300mm. There was a very nice halo around it last night over London too.
