My first ever pictures of the moon

[pne_rob]

i saw the moon peeking out of the clouds last night and though i should mess around with settings on my Fujifilm S5800, not an DSLR camera though but still thought id give it a try. i started messing with the ISO, Shutter Speeds and aperture and came up with these results. i added the camera settings on the photos description's. Let me know honestly what you think.

P.S this is my first ever try so expect a few impurities in the photo's.

I wouldnt be dissapointed taking a pic like that

Did you use digital zoom? If so thats where you lose quality as it doesnt actualy zoom anymore, just enlarges the pixels so pic becomes less defined.

I think that looks clearer. Just crop the image so its a little big bigger but not to close so you lose definition and jobs a good un

So far my pictures of the moon have been blurry. You have very clear images there, well done!

Thanks. It took a bit of messing around but I ended up using manual focus and going to as far as it can go and fortunately it came out clear
