I see the bad moon rising...

Actually quite a nice one. Last night there was a full Moon in a sky that for once looked absolutely clear, so I thought I'd have another bash at some Moon photos with the D50 and 500mm F8 mirror lens. To minimise shake I used 1/500th second and adjusted the brightness afterwards. Apart from that I've applied a little sharpening and cropped the image, but haven't otherwise mucked it about. This is about the best of a half-dozen pictures, but there was very little in it. Annoyingly, just as I was going to bed some clouds drifted across the sky and framed the Moon beautifully, but by the time I got downstairs and got the camera the Moon was actually covered. So it goes.

Considering it's a really cheapo mirror lens I was quite impressed.
