The Winter months are an excellent time to shoot the Moon. On a clear cold evening I can get some really crisp and clear images of the everyone's favorite satellite. Tonight is such a night. Nice and cold. And... I have a new toy. I found myself an early Christmas present on Amazon. For the sole purpose of shooting the Moon I purchased a 500mm lens. Now I could have gone the normal route and spent thousands of dollars. But instead I went the cheap route and bought a very basic fully manual $89 lens made by a company I have never heard of. Cool huh? And after a quick skim through a rudimentary instruction manual I finally said the heck with it and hooked up this glorified gun scope and shot this.
I need to work on it a bit but I don't think this is too bad for a first attempt. Now what I really need is a new tripod head that affords me some better freedom to adjust my aim. That will not be cheap.
And now...
