Thanks, Jeff.

Very nice. Romy (Liquidstone) has to be one of the most talented super-telephoto shooters I've seen. A true artist with a camera.

Nice one, Psychic. I need a longer lens. Or at least a cloudless sky!

1/125 for 1200mm on 10MP APS-C in my case.
A bit on the safe side, could probably have been down to 1/80 without problems. With LiveView at 10x zoom, the moon was travelling fast across the display

Some of the posted images show, that atmospheric haze determine the quality of moon shots more than anything else.

So, I wondered how the 300mm F2.8L IS would hold up using stacked 2.0 and 1.4x teleconverters -- here is a Halloween moon on a 1D Mark III, f/11 at 820mm 1/200 sec.

Downsized from 1200x1200 to 600x600:

I accidentally took the picture as a jpeg, so it's a bit blown out at the edges -- I thought I was in RAW. Some contrast enhancement and sharpening applied.

I didn't know you had an 800L dolina. How's it feel to be one of the few in the Philippines that do?

It feels heavy but not as heavy as the 400 or 600.

The only thing better than having long glass like those above....

Getting much closer to the subject.
Oh to get this shot.

Here is a montage of three images taken with the same camera/lens configuration about 6 years ago:

Canon 60D (6mp) + 400mm F5.6L + 2xTC (EFL=1280mm)

I wish I had the reach of the (18mp) 7D then!

I usually shoot moon shots at around 1/125. 1/250 is preferred. The moon at night is much brighter than you might think and internal exposure meters on a long lens is unreliable; at least thats my experience. I always use a remote shutter control to eliminate, or at least minimize camera shake. I try to stop the lens down as much as I can and bracket both shutter speed and f-stop. Results are very acceptable. Of course a lot all depends on ISO setting. 400 is my preferred ISO

I have always loved these shots. I'd like to get a large copy for the wall.
