I think that all of the moons that were visible were below Jupiter, an are in the frame. It will probably not surprise you that I have many more frames. I was experimenting with different ISOs, shutter speeds, apertures etc, as well as bracketing. I just picked one that seemed to work. Yesterday was also rather busy, especially since because of these photos I had been up until 6am and got a late start on the day. I may well have some better versions elsewhere. with two doublers on the 300, the one that came with it, and an external, Jupiter and the moon barely fit in the frame and by the time I ran two sets of bracketed shot,I'd have to readjust. As to the other one, the quick and dirty, with the moon so terribly overexposed, I think that the ghost image is just due to reflection inside. Quite possibly off the sensor and then the back of the lens. > > > —M. > > \/\/o/\/\ --> http://WorldOfMiserere.com > > http://EnticingTheLight.com > A Quest for Photographic Enlightenment > > > > On 8 September 2012 18:45, Larry Colen <l...@red4est.com> wrote: >> I haven't gone through all of my attempts.
