Taken using the Tamron 150-600, mostly at the 150 setting. I would have gone more, but was having trouble tracking accurately. There is some slight trailing, but I guess that will have to do. Will attempt some more processing tomorrow...

Great job Dave... the Tamron 150-600mm is great... it has been cloudy here almost every night... it will be cloudy here for several more days according to the weather channel... I want to get out and do some more Moon shots soon if possible...

Thanks Bruce! Yeah, that weather can ruin a perfectly good moon shot!

Wonderful captures! :thumbup: :thumbup:
Did you use a guided mount?

Thanks Northcoast! I think I was using my astrotrac, which tracks the stars, but was not using any actual guiding.
