Hi All,
The Moon looked great as it was rising just after 5am today, so I couldn't resist grabbing a quick shot. (Pentax K100D with 300mm telephoto, f/5.6, 4 sec exposure at 400iso. Image cropped but no other adjustments.)
Cheers,
Stephen

Nice one Stephen, would be even better if it was tracked. I think there's some slight motion blur from the 4 sec exposure.
It sure was a lovely sight, I was viewing it myself driving to the station.
Tomorrow morning should be even better.

Nice shot Stephen, I always love viewing the Moon early in the morning.
Thanks for sharing. :thumbsup:

Thanks Matty and Mike.
Yes, it would have been better if it was tracked Mike! Unfortunately my little eq2 mount doesn't really like the weight of a dSLR+telephoto lens, so I'll have to start saving for an eq5 or similar...
Might try again tomorrow morning.
Cheers,
Stephen
