    Excellent detail Jim, I cant get anything like that using
    500mm x 2 converter. The moon must be closer in your
    neck of the woods :)

    Thank you Shutterbug,
    Try just before sunset. I find that I can get better detail before the moon starts getting bright.

    Nice shot Jim. Nicely framed too.

    Hope you don’t mind me making a couple of suggestions?
    Am I correct in saying that you sharpened the image?
    If so, try a smaller radius next time (between 1 and 3).
    Also, select a region which excludes the edge of the limb on the right side of the moon and feather it.
    Due to the contrast involved, the sharpening creates a very sharp white edge to the moon’s limb.
    Also, try “smart sharpen” rather than “unsharp mask”.

    Hope this help,

    Thank you for the suggestions astroshot, radius was at 1.6. I will try your others.

    Thank you for the nice comments Sharon and Pat.
