While the fellas were out for their evening constitutional, I looked at the heavens and saw a very clear sky with the moon in a location that I could take pictures of it easily. So, I set up the rig again, and went about photographing it again. This time, I set the focus most carefully, and used a cable release on the camera, along with the 3 second delay. Then, I decided to ramp up the ISO to see if I could get some noise. There are three shots of the moon on this page, the top was shot at ISO 100, the middle at ISO 400, the bottom was shot at ISO 1600. Again, this series was shot with the A600/5.6 with the 2XL converter mounted. I attempted to process each file as close to identically as I could, though I gave the ISO 1600 file less sharpening as it was showing noise at that point.
