Moon Exposure

Found a D.I.Y moon exposure calculator by Michael Oates. It worked. Coated mine with clear adhesive sheets. Used brass eyelets for the center pivot.

That's a complicated beastie!
I have only recently tried taking moon pictures and originally made the common mistake of giving too much exposure.
According to the articles and videos I have read and seen it is basically daylight exposure and using spot metering you can even meter for it.
The white balance was set at 'Auto' but I understand that it should be set for 'Cloudy'

It's not so complicated. Set the "Lunar" on the dial to the type of moon you have, set the "ISO" window to your ISO, and you can read the recommended f:, and shutter speeds. Just remember that the moon is in full sunlight, whenever you see it.

Is there an online source to get a better picture of that?

Thanks for that. Looking at it, I remember when it was posted a while back by JR.

Thanks from a dslr novice who wants to capture some clear moonshots.

I just let my cheap bridge camera figure out the exposure.
