For those that can see the moon right now, check out the moon and get snapping with your tripod!! I think something is telling me to get a new tripod - my trusty velbon tripod just broke as I was setting up for this fantastic moon opportunity!

Bloody wet here, like it's been raining all day here at bottom of SA.

Nothing special at all, but my first serious attempt at a moon shot. Yes, this was taken with the 70-300G

I'm not sure if people know about these moon rise tables courtesy of the American Navy, but thought this might be a good spot to pop them up:

They're also sunrise and sunset tables for everywhere on the planet.

Their full list of services are at:

After I posted this I realised other moon time software had been the subject of a previous discussion in another place on the forum.

When I left work and drove home the moon looked amazing. By the time I got home it was too late :cry:

OK Geoff... You prompted me to go out in the cold...

Here's my attempt... Not as good as some that I've seen, but I'm happy with it.

1/640s F5.6 80-400VR (without VR) - cruddy Velbon tripod.

Did you use the diffuser on the SB800? The lighting seems very even. :lol:
