Moon setting this morning

[StephenM (Stephen)]

Hi all,

Here's the Full Moon setting behing trees in the local park just after 6 this morning. Great way to start the day!

Cheers,
Stephen

Well done Stephen,
Your spider would look great dropped on one of these, not sure about the how to, but must be possible.

Cheers
Trevor

lovely image Stephen - for the record what settings did you have as the moon looks nicely balanced and still has that sunset colour

It was a stunning sight outside the window of the train this morning.

Thanks guys! Yes Mike, the full moon rising or setting is always a spectacular sight!

OK David, I had the camera in full manual mode, with the following settings:

70-300mm telephoto at 300mm, f/5.6, 1/500 sec, 400 iso. Just after the Moon set I took another image with a slightly longer exposure of 1/350 sec (to record a slightly brighter sky), and this was stacked with the Moon shots using Startrails.

Cheers,
Stephen
