So tonight is a full moon and decided to play somemore on shooting the moon. Got some ok results. I need a better lens or get my camera mounted to my telescope.

this is using the 70-150mm lens.

Do you mean the 40-150mm(80-300mm 35mm eq) lens? :)

I think he posted a link to the mount in the thread didn't he? That very thread made me add "Telescope" to my LONG list of lenses I want to get :)

I actually had the camera with me this morning and wanted to get the
moonset over the flatirons, but the clouds didn't cooperate.
