Looks like we all shot the moon last night.
Nice framing and setup. Just a tad over sharpened?
I see artifact on download and zoom.
All in all that's a nice lens you have there.
;)

That 600mm lens does a really good job on the moon. PLEASE, everyone seems to like to over process their pictures! The moon needs very little processing if it is shot with the proper exposure. Just some minor sharpening or/and contrast enhancement... but very little is really needed. Exposure does make a difference. If you want detail on the surface, you need to expose a little shorter, if you want detail on the terminator, perhaps expose a tad longer (do I have that right?)

In my experience yes.

Thank you Bruce, I'm posting a new shot I took with the Meade 8" Scope. And the Tamron 150-600mm shot from a couple nights ago..
Personally I can't see much difference.
Along with a new Orion Nebula shot. The last one I'll be taking with visible light. Tonight I'll try with the IR converted Canon T2i.
