The clouds cleared for a while, but the transparency was not great and neither was the seeing, but you have to go with what you have.
Canon 60D on a 150mm reflector telescope. ISO 400, 1/1000th, wireless remote shutter release, 5.46 pm. I usually shoot the moon at ISO 100, but thought I would try a higher setting to get a faster shutter speed, as my telescope seems to wobble at the slightest touch. I think it helped a bit.
