I actually have an M10 and a 135 and it wouldn't have occurred to me to use that but you make it look so obvious! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I shoot the moon, I use 1250mm of focal length, and end up with nearly the APSc chip covered. Disagreeing slightly with the advice, clarity isn't the real essential at that longer focal length, stability is. Stability of the equipment obviously, and more so, stability of the atmosphere. I've imaged in foggy conditions better than some "clear" nights, however this becomes more of an issue at longer than the focal lengths we are talking here. Bear in mind you balcony will be above a hot asphalt area, and there will be thermals up and down, potentially destroying the image. This is with the old T, and my 1250mm focal length scope. 1/800th sec, f5, ISO400. Gary Welcome, dear visitor!

This is an amazing shot. I take your point about stability and atmosphere. Fortunately our terrace has a lot of planting the paved area is well shaded. I actually had my tripod planted on grass. Soon after sundown things cool down a lot. But even at 420mm I realised ho critical stability is. The image was all over the place every time I toughed the lens to try and adjust anything! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jankap Posted January 12, 2019 Share #26 Posted January 12, 2019 (edited) Last month the astronomic observatory here in Nuremberg invited photo amateurs to use the equipment of the observatory. To adapt the different cameras there were T2-adapters in stock. They have a refractor with 1400mm and a reflector with 6000mm focal length. The observatory is situated in the city, but not directly in the center! Ten amateurs (male and female) with cameras of different brands followed the invitation. That evening the seeing was very good. They advised to use serial exposure, to be able to delete the ones, that suffered from atmospheric disturbances. I came home with 177 exposures!
