(60,077 posts)If the sky is clear go look. Really beautiful. And take some shots.
(wishing I had a nice long lens).

(60,077 posts)That and my work schedule often does not allow. To bed by 7pm is disruptive to parts of life.

(17,087 posts)Not bad for a shot from the front yard with my 200mm kit lens, I guess. I should take better advantage of the unreal starry skies here and practice (learn) more night photography.

(17,087 posts)I wasn't shooting manually. The moon was so high it was really awkward. I was trying to use my tripod, but I'm too tall. I ended up walking out to the street and bracing myself against the very frosty roof of my Jeep.
I'll have to play around with it a lot more. In the summer.

(60,077 posts)I set my timer to 2 or 10 seconds depending on how cold it is.
Winter has clearer air, but you have to allow your lenses to acclimate. I learned that from my big tele. It took a few minutes for the heat to dissipate. You can see the waves.

(3,059 posts)I've got an 8" Celestron, and I can't get anything near this type of detail. The moon looks like this through mine...I've been able to pull in Jupiter and Saturn but like I said, not with this kind of clarity.
