Hi guys,

I need help. I stayed up till 5am trying to get a gap in the clouds to take some shots of the lunar eclipse... this is the best I could do (I compiled the pre- and mid-lunar eclipse shots together into one).

For the life of me, I can't figure out how to take a crisp, clean shot of the moon that looks fantastic at high resolution.

If anyone out there has any tips on lunar photography or general astrophotography, I'd be so greatful.

Oh, I also attached a shot of the milky way I got about a week ago with my new dslr. I didnt have a tripod, scope, mount or anything with me. Was just out in the hills in Perth. Ended up fiddling with settings until I had almost no star trail and still some decent structure (used a dvd case and a jumper to prop the camera up..haha)

Kind regards,
Glen
