I follow the group here regularly and have read a lot of advice on taking pictures of the moon. I had never really got one I like before, but with the help of the advice I saw here, I finally got a decent shot. I took the picture Mon 05/05/15 using my Canon SX50 with the ISO 400, Aperture F:/8 and a shutter speed of 1/200.

There is a wealth of good information available in this group.

That shot alone should sell a few SX50's.

Thank you, and let us know how it works out for you. I used a tripod too to give myself the best chance at decent detail.

Thank you. With the prices so low now, a lot of people may just decide to give the SX50 a try.
