The shot was taken with Fz50 at 420mm, on tripod, shutter-release button, IS-2, using Panasonic DMW-LT55, a 1.7 teleconverter (altogether, 720mm equivalent).

I've been reading about the several stages of sharpening. In some sections of photo image, some of the sharpening looks relevant. However, the outer rim on part of the moon may indicate too much sharpening in that portion.

The link which follows presents a photo taken at the same place I was standing for the moon rising over Desert Mountain near Coram, Montana?

So much to learn, so little time.
