First attempt imaging Moon.

CCD vs Film? Lots of time vs no patience? Alright, this is your place to discuss all the astrophotography what's and what's not. You can discuss about techniques, accessories, cameras, whatever....just make sure you also post some nice photos here too!

Hi,
Not bad for first attempt.

Did you use self-timer to take the shot? If not, try that next time... will reduce or remove the vibration seen in the image.

Happy shooting and have a nice day.

Good attempt! To cut the glare down a little, you can use the -EV function. That will help to bring out more details.
