So Jealous!
I didn’t even try with my Point and Shoot.
What are the specifics —what camera, ISO etc?
Great Shots! Thanks for posting!

Hi Thanks!
For the moon you need a lot of magnification, so yeah the little cameras are pretty much out. The coolest might have been a telescope mount but I have not got that gear. (Yet?)
All the shots were done with my Canon 7D, with a consumer grade telephoto lens. 75-300 so on my camera with it’s APS-C sensor that is really 135-540. Someday I’ll get one of the really good long lenses. But they seem to start at $2000! Used my tri pod of course. Funny thing, had to mount the camera backwards on it to tilt up enough.
ISO 125. Exposure 1/20 & Aperture f20 to get less blur on the foreground. The moon is so bright you wind up manually cutting way back on the exposure as the meter averages in too much night sky.
To get light on the foreground I used a Speedlite 430ex. Cranked that all the way up. +3

Nice - I like the last one best.
If I’d had clear sky I might have been tempted to dig out my 200/4 Nikkor, 2x teleconverter & mounted it on my 2x crop factor E-PL1. Effective 800/f16 but hey it might well have been amusing to try it.

March FavoritesYou've seen these all already but looking back, just because. These are my favorite shots of this last month. That 1937 Zeiss Sonnar is such a gloriously wonderful bit of glass. Thanks for looking.
