I didn't touch it other then cropped out some black ( but no more then 25% ) closed my aperture to f16 and slowed down my shutter to 1/80, I listen and learn from my good friend and mentor "Primetime "

Exposure: 0.013 sec (1/80)
Aperture: f/16.0
Focal Length: 800 mm x 1.6 camera crop factor = 1280mm
ISO Speed: 200
Exposure Bias: 0 EV
Flash: Off, Did not fire

Not easy for me to resist editing in photoshop.. but wanted a back to basics shot, i don't always need to mess with them .

I hope I passed the lesson

Vin, that is GORGEOUS!!!!!!!!!!!! I have yet to get a decent moon shot! 300mm just doesn't cut it for me, LOL.

GREAT job on this!
Hugs!

Really nice, Vin! I've not been able to come close to a decent moon shot, so maybe you'll inspire me to get out and give it another shot especially now that you've dropped some great tips

WOW Vin... feels like I'm right there in space looking straight at the moon. Beautiful shot... very clear. Thanks for sharing

I saw the old man himself peaking over to tops of the Catalina Mountains tonight. From Chris Rice's I See the Moon: Can you see the moon tonight, a sugar white perfection? Bingo!
