moon picture not bikes but nice

[amarko5]

was a clear sky and a full moon ( something compelled me to go outside under that full moon :twisted: )

http://www.mark.davidson.dsl.pipex.com/pics/moon.jpg

taken with my 70 to 200 zoom with a 2x converter on it so 400mm at 1.6x = 640 mm equivelant, for the techies out there and 100% crop

[keithd]

[jonboy]

Yeah but... it's the wrong colour, the moon's yellow everyone knows that - and it's made of cheese :lol: .

Nice photo ;).

i used to own a telescope, not a very good one but i'd get views like this of the moon thru it.
I had to sell it in the end cos i spent far too many hours sitting staring one-eye thru it.

I ended up looking like a bloke who wears a monocle....but has lost it somewhere :lol:

Great pic tho :thumbsup:

[falc]

Awesome pic! the detail on that is great :thumbsup:

[thor]

Nice edge detail! Did you use a mount or filter?

no filters just my cheapo 30 quid tripod.

but i am using quality glass and a lot of playing around with exposures on manual.

that shot was 1/250th at iso 100 with f18 IIRC might have been f16 with not a cloud in the sky it was super bright.

i did alter the contrast and brightness a bit when i cropped it in photoshop.

Good stuff. I have a 10cm aperture telescope that gets up to that magnification, but it's pretty sensitive to wobbles. Did you use a remote shutter or a timed one?

The downside with my scope is that although the resolution is great, looking at the moon can seriously dazzle you! I should really get a proper polarising filter. Also, the field of view is quite narrow so I can only see about half of the moon at one time. It moves pretty quick!

[amarko5]

just for you Jonboy (so as not to spoil your illusion )

i used mirror lockup and a 2 sec auto timer, and your right it does move quickly

Mark,
What a brilliant shot!


..and thanks, it is now set as my desktop, it makes you feel very small in the whole mix of things doesn't it?

[Cloggsy]

it is now set as my desktop

Ditto, at home and at work :thumbsup:

[Stig]

It makes a good desktop image too.

OK OK I didn't read all the posts before I wroted that. :oops:

[BillyC]

WOW! :shock:

What an amazing image!

For comparison... look here (http://www.oarval.org/MoonMapen.htm). Where I'd like to draw your attention to crater number 68, at about the 8 o'clock position... which to those in the know, is better known as Crater Billy.

I kid you not, it's all mine!

Unfortunately I don't get out there much these days, but it boasts some fantastic views :D

[Quiff Wichard]

crikey- that had me transfixed..and I am watching space cadets at the same time! whats the chances of that ??!!

it truly is a superb pic!
