Back in action

Hi All,
       After a few days laid up I am back on here, well almost as I did my back this morning (bad news) This is an old war wound  from when I was working. Back in oh around 2001 I carried A 21 inch monitor, this compressed my spine and every so often lets me know that I was a silly boy.

Enough of that, I had a nice chat with Mike this afternoon and when we had finished I went out and took a couple of pictures of the moon. This is the first time that I use the extender with this lens so it takes it to around 800.

400

800

I have tried to keep the two pictures the same size.

It is harder than you would think to get the moon right as it is a bright blob in a dark space.

If you want to try is just take a lot of pictures at different settings until you are happy.

I did manage a picture off Jupiter with it's four moons but it was out of focus and trailed. It needs a telescope set up to do it as it is so small at 440 million miles away.

I hope to be back tomorrow with luck.
