Stacks_On

Another moon shot just because. I was outside with the kids looking for the International Space Station as I heard on the radio it would be visible. I snapped off 40 odd moon shots on my current longest lens, a Minolta MC Rokkor 300mm F5.6 that I bought at Vinnies for $40.

 

Suprisingly using this cheap lens at F5.6, shooting at ISO1250 and stacking bursts using some astro processing skills I've been working on, I came up with something that looks quite nice thank you very much. Although the sheer number of pixels isn't that high so it would probably print poorly.

 

At least I still have something long'ish that's acceptable. I sold my 100-400mm and miss it regularly...
