Full Moon over Detroit

Detroit, MI, USA

I think this is my best moon shot. Using the Sony F707 and the Meade telescope is no easy task for focus, but I think I've finally got it figured out. -- I'm pleased to say that this photo was awarded Picture of the Day at Best Foto in the Black & White category on 12/25/02.

Woah, nice :)

I'm going to get into astrophotography (whenever I can afford a camera and a telescope) lol

Hi James, I don't recall the settings I used, but I believe it was a midrange f/stop. Perhaps it is just a luck mating of the Sony f707 to the scope.

I love this picture. How did you get the depth of field needed for this shot? I use a Celestron c-5 (1250mm f-10) and Minolta 7000i. If I change the f stop for depth of field the time required lets the moon move and blur the picture. I'm envious. I also use a nikon digital 995 and do what they call digiscoping for birds Etc. So far I havent come close to a moon shot like this one. My shots are at Pbase.com/kimocall
