RE: The Moon
Thank you very much @argalf
Even with a standard tripod and a 300mm lens you can make very good pictures of the moon. You just need to keep the exposure time at around 1/100 or 1/250 second.
I've already started some trials, as you can see here, but there's much room for improvement...
Thanks for your encouragement!
This looks pretty good @argalf
I think the focus is pretty close, maybe a little bit „unsharp mask“ in image editing will do the trick. As you write in your post, optics with mirror and a big obstruction (secondary mirror) are a little less sharper then lenses. But it could also be caused by turbulences in the atmosphere, they will also make the image looking a little bit blurry. This can be avoided by shooting much pictures and stacking them. The software will then just use the sharpest parts.
Hopefully the upcoming friday will give a good opportunity to improve my skills! :)
Good luck to anybody reading this comment.
I keep my fingers crossed and wish you good luck and happy photographing :-)
I also hope for some snapshots.
