Full Moon
Posted: Wed Jan 18, 2006 4:18 pmPlaying around with the 80-400 OS lens and got this one - the most impressive part is this was hand held at the 400mm end.
Holdy Dooly - handheld?
The man has nerves of steel !!!!!!
Well done

Nice shot Virgs but maybe you could have opened up a stop more? More detail may be pulled out of the shadow areas.

Posted: Wed Jan 18, 2006 7:37 pmI like this pic Big V - pity it wasn't a little brighter though. I love looking at the moon, but it's only when you can see it in this kind of detail that you realise that we have a giant hunk of rock hurtling around our planet!

Moon shots are cool imo and this is very good for a non-telescope, hand held shot for sure!

Posted: Fri Jan 20, 2006 4:53 amWith all the hand held Moon shots happening lately, this was with my old 300mm + TC201 on Wednesday morning.
yes, its a bit oversharpened, it was also taken during the day!
One of these days I'll take a few through the scope with the D70.

Only they arent shadow areas- they are areas of terrain under full sunlight conditions, with a similar albedo to black coal, so the exposure is pretty spot on I'd say

thanks. That sounds like a good destination
Hopefully you will get plenty of clear sky and not too much heat up there in the Flinders Ranges.

Posted: Fri Jan 20, 2006 7:39 pmAbsolutely no reason you cannot hand hold, the surface of the moon is lit by the sun so it the same exposure as a bright sunny day on earth.
Did you hear about the 2 blondes sitting on the verandah watching the moon rise?
One says " What one is closer the Moon or Melbourne?"
Her friend replies.
"Duh! Can you see Melbourne from here?"
