Tonight’s Moon
For this shot I used the Canon T21, the EF 70-300 MM USM lens, a tripod, a remote and fully manual settings except I did leave image stabilization on. The settings are 1/125 sec shutter, ISO 200, F-11 and fully manual focus.

Nowadays you would buy the new T4i instead, but the EF-USM lens has dropped a bit in price since I bought it a few years back. At 300 MM I actually get an effective 450 mm since my camera uses a “crop” sensor and I used a non crop sensor lens, which gives it a multiplier of 1.5 -1.6 for focal lengths.
