It has been about 3 months since I have seen a nice bright full moon. We just haven't had clear skies at the right time. I've been waiting and waiting. Last night was it. I went out on sat on our front porch to practice shooting the moon.
And now I know why I am learning manual. There is no comparison between auto and manual.

Evidence of what manual mode can do. Incredible.
Tonight we are getting out the 500 mm and a 2X teleconverter lens to see what they can do!

Lesson learned: All my first images were way over exposed. I thought since it was dark out I needed to adjust for the dark. However, the moon is incredibly bright. So once I slowed down the shutter, took the ISO way down from what I had it at, and found a smaller aperture...it came out beautiful.
I also want to compare 55mm to 300mm.
And just a few more settings
