vikiradTG2007 · February 9th, 2009, 2:08 PM

Was the camera body attached to a telescope by any chance?

f18 1/80 iso 250 1600mm 5d2. Cropped from RAW to 2500x2500 but shrunk down to 1280x1280.

the night was cloudy so focus was shit. Check the weather radar for how cloudy it was a few hours ago.

The moon looks badass from your part of the world... from here it looks lame

Was any tracking device used, or did you just shoot it on a tripod?

evoWALO · February 9th, 2009, 2:52 PM

No tracking device just your Manfrotto 393 gimbal head and Manfrotto tripod

I doubt you'd need a tracker for a 1/80s exposure. Also, I'm fairly certain he shot it with a 800mm +2XTC, not a telescope.

... with 1600 mm and an object about 240.000 miles away, I think you can easily shake a photo with 1/80s.

Image Stabalizing helps and probably why the shot isn't any worse.

A tripod is necessary, yes, but not a tracker. A tracker moves the lens to compensate for the celestial object's movement, and the moon isn't going to move much in 1/80s.
