reply to rcroning Spectacular. Would love to be able to do something like this. Fortunately, I do get a great view of the rising moon from my backyard, but I would love to be able to shoot it like this.
reply to rcroning the old rule of thumb for fullframe n film cameras was that the sun or moon with a 2400 mm lens would fill the 24 mm dimension of a 24 x36 full frame.
so a 1200 mm lens would fill half the frame. etc.
sensors smaller than fullframe fill with smaller focal lengths.
it.s a challenge to get both infinite far and near in focus. so expect to be using f22 f32 f45 f64 etc
