Moon image

After weeks of cloudy nights recently the south east Qld. sky’s cleared and I was able to take a decent shot of the moon.
Canon camera, lens and teleconverters.
Thanks for viewing, kind regards Dennis Arch.

Dennis, that's a great result you've achieved by a novel way of creating a very long focal length. Haven't seen a shot of the moon done with two teleconverters attached to a telephoto lens on this forum before. The result is testimony to the quality of both Canon EF lenses and teleconverters. I expected to see some CA doing it this way but there doesn't appear to be any. You must have had a good tripod too, as there is very little camera shake at 1/100th of a second. Your colour balance needs some adjusting, it's a bit too yellow on my screen but other than that, it's a fine effort. Well done!

Thanks Michael, I am always impressed by the shots taken by a DSLR camera + lenses. Apart from the fact I don’t have a telescope, it is amazing what can be done with equipment off the shelf.
All except the camera are getting on a bit and purchased second hand. It is a great testament to Canon’s gear.

I do have a Skywatcher Adventurer tracker to put into use, the night sky has been cloudy since I bought it. 3rd law of moon physics, - It shall be cloudy and remain so for N days after a new equipment purchase.

The colour was somewhat of a misstep. I have a stacked image ready to colour not sure why this image stepped to the front. We have quite a bit of light pollution which makes star and planet shooting a misty mirage.

Thanks again, DennisA.
