(153,075 posts)10. Thanks so much, my dear Deuxcents!
It was fun after I was done shooting!
The moon was so small and of course, it was starting to set. So I was having some trouble catching it and getting a good focus.
I was very pleasantly surprised to see that I had several really good shots. That first moon did not need any post-production editing. That's how it looked, as it came out of the camera! That's rare for me.
The third moon did have some post-processing, just enough to bring out the craters more sharply. That's typical for me!
And some nights, I set up and right away get any number of fantastic shots! You just never know!

You did a great job. Most people set the moon too bright. Looks very professional.
