Sharper moon images are out there but photographers working on a budget will be pleased to know that the lens for this shot was purchased on ebay a few years back for less than $50. A 500mm "Five Star" lens that may have other branding. This is a film era long lens not a telephoto, so an awkward 14" long. It does have a tripod mount so that helps and a T mount. It came with a 2x Vivitar tele converter...so 1000mm. This does require manual shooting but I recomend this all the time anyway.
Increased the ISO some to see if it provided better overall results ... I think the version at ISO 2500 was better. But then that could have also been because the wind was gusting more or less.
The winds were around 20 to 30 MPH last evening ... and bitter cold with temperatures heading towards 15 degrees F.
Had to have the gloves off to manually focus the lens ... brrrrr.
The moon on this night (August 17th) looked full but it doesn't technically become a full moon until August 18th at 2:27 PDT. It seemed especially bright tonight and looked wonderful. There seems to be many names for the moon on for this particular lunar showing. Sometimes referred to as the "Full Green Corn Moon", "Blueberry Moon", "Full Sturgeon Moon". the later name from Native American stories that this is the best time to fish for the namesake Sturgeon.
Tonight's 'Supermoon' (29/08/2015) is the first of three spectacular lunar shows this year
That means the moon is very full and bright in the sky, because it has come very close to earth.
Tonight's full moon is just 222,631 miles from earth - one of the closest approaches of the year.
Hello everyone, today I share a simple photograph of the full moon on December 20, 2018. The cold and wintery tonality is due to the temperature of -6º. Hope you like it!

Feeling closer than ever before!
The full moon on November 14, 2016, will present the closest supermoon of the year (356,509 kilometers or 221,524 miles). What’s more, this November 14, 2016 full moon will showcase the moon at its closest point to Earth thus far in the 21st century (2001 to 2100), and the moon won’t come this close again until the full moon of November 25, 2034. 18 years to go!!!

"And the Moon, ---We have measured for her mansions (to serve) till she returns like the old (and withered) lower part of a date stalk."
I cropped the actual shot and it seems closer than using 200mm coz its 10.2 Megapixels =)

I tried a redux of the Moon tonight, since it wasn't hazy. It is a slight bit better, but I think I can still do better. The moon was lower, so perhaps better to wait until it's high in the sky so the light is traveling through less atmosphere. Also, a quarter moon or so makes for a more dramatic terminator, when the craters and peaks are highlighted by the sun edge-on.
The moon (78.2%) on the 28th May 2015 at Grantown on Spey, Scotland. The 'Kicking Donkey' in full view.

Thanks to Shutterstorm to let me use the lens and the amazing tripod/setup system.
