Went out the backyard and the moon was there so using an old 500mm lens on my Canon D60 (which is in pretty bad condition) and took four shots at ISO 200 and f16, all processed in Camera Raw and slight sharpening in Photoshop

shot 1 at 1/80

shot 2 at 1/60

shot 3 at 1/40

shot 4 at 1/30

These are rough shots, normally I would work with a higher ISO 400 so I could work with higher shutter speed, I also have light polution, and the 500mm lens produces rather soft images.

And if I want to go crazy I would probably pullout my 12" Dobsonian with 2x magnification and a 24mm lens, but then I would need a windless night.
