Martyn_Bannister 10 Posted October 17, 2010 From my back garden using my monster russian mirror and a huge amount of sharpening. I have come to the conclusion that my tripod is the problem with sharpness. Link to comment
russ 704 Posted October 18, 2010 Nice shot Martyn. Could be seeing that is holding you back. The moon looked like it was under water last night at 9pm. Link to comment
Martyn_Bannister 10 Posted October 18, 2010 You may be right russ, however it looked very sharp in the viewfinder, but awfully muddy in the unprocessed shot. I had the mirror locked up and self timer on, so the only thing I can think is either mirror shake, or dirty sensor. I know the sensor has dust on it, but I don't feel it is smeared with anything. I hope Link to comment
smutly 28 Posted October 18, 2010 That's a great shot martyn. As russ said, the seeing conditions last night were a bit murky.Jeff........ Link to comment
russ 704 Posted November 1, 2010 Martyn, one question: have you tried stacking multiple image? I used to put the 300D into continuous shoot mode and blast away. Capture 30-40 images, pick out the best and then stack those. Link to comment
Adrena1in 12 Posted November 2, 2010 I've always had trouble getting really good moon shots. Nothing's ever beaten my first proper attempt with the 1200mm f/9.5 Achromat I started out with...even the C11, though it got me a lot closer, never seemed to produce really sharp images. Stacking does help a lot though. Link to comment
