That’s pretty cool looking. Hope ya don’t mind that I saved it. 😉

I don’t have my camera setup to shoot RAW. I’m not that savvy when it comes to photo editing. I still use Paint Shop Pro 8 but it crashes all the time on my new rig using Windows 7.

Maybe I should start shooting RAW instead, I dunno.

It’s not as bright as yours.

soosh: I’ve tried taking shots like that but mine never turn out well.

lokisbong: That bottom shot is amazing. Nicely done.

As for dusting off an old thread…. I just joined the forums and taking moon pictures is a fascination of mine. Hope ya don’t mind. 🙂

Would humidity affect moon pictures very much because it has been close to 100% humidity lately and I just thought about that. I just can not seem to get a really clear shot.

Absolutely. Cold, clear, dry nights are best for attempting moon shots.

Here’s one I took last year with my Sony a200 DLSR. The moon was so bright it hurt to look at. ISO was set at 200 and the shutter speed was 1/500th. I used the 75mm-300mm lens.

I hit the picture with a little sharpening and contrast enhancement, but not much.

I do prefer to shoot pics of the moon when it is not full. You can capture more of the surface texture rather than just a flat looking disk. This one is from back in July of last year.
