spacelordmaster Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 I just took this photo of the Moon with my Canon T6 and the 200mm lens that came with the kit. Not the best lens in the world but it did the job, considering I didn't use a tripod, I think it came out pretty good. xrobwx71, Jim K, Sulphy and 7 others 10 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spikey_richie Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 What settings (ISO, f stop etc...) did you use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astra.Xtreme Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 Not bad considering you didn't use a tripod. Had you did, it would have been easier to get the focus dialed in. Next step is getting a tripod or (prop it up on something) and rapid fire a bunch of photos. Feed them into a stacking software, and it'll really make the picture come to life. Here's what I use for astro shots: http://deepskystacker.free.fr/english/index.html spikey_richie, Dick Montage and spacelordmaster 3 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spikey_richie Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 I would go for aperture priority, white balance to sunny, ISO 100 or 200, and spot metered. Shoot wide open. spacelordmaster 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spikey_richie Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 (edited) This is straight out of the camera, with a 150mm lens on a cropped sensor, so 300mm equivalent. This is also hand-held. ƒ/5.6, 1/800, ISO@200 spot-metered with WB set to Sunny (because the light we see is reflected sun light) +devHead, Astra.Xtreme, Steven P. and 1 other 4 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
