Full Moon July 2015

[Star-Gazer]

Took this with Canon 60D and Sigma 70-300 DG APO Macro lens.  One shot at 300mm f11 1/100 iso 100.  I am waiting for the right environment to use my Skymax 127 and Canon 60d at prime focus:

Thanks for the comments.  I managed to buy the lens new but actually second hand with just a damaged box for £83 delivered (and it is the APO version and not the much cheaper 70-300 version).  I wanted to have a play on the cheap to get some experience with telephoto and macro before committing to expensive lenses etc.  I find that I am doing a lot in PP with greyscale and sharpening but I like the results so far and will try to get better and better.  I have a Skymax 127 which I will attach my Canon 60D to at prime focus.  This will give me a much bigger close up without having to crop.
