The Moon, 200mm, 360mm, 400mm, 560mm
Just to show you that you dont need large telescopes and sophisticated electronic tracking mounts like I have to get decent pictures of the Moon.
I used my 70-200mm L on its own @ 200mm then with my 1.4 extender @360mm. I then used my 400mm L on its own @ 400mm (obviously) then with the 1.4 attached @560mm. All these images are 100% crops.
All shot using Spot metering, ISO 100, f11
1.200mm
2.360mm
3.400mm
4.560mm

Great shots as always DJ, and some very useful tips there, thank you.
I've just got in from work, and had a look outside, but the moon is pretty much obscured where I am, but I'm gonna try tomorrow and get some lunar shots. I'll let you know how I got on.

I shall have to try again with the Nikon D200 as mine were taken with the D70s. maybe the extra 4 meg pix will make all the difference.
One big problem I came up against was as soon as I got the picture of the moon set up ready to take, some idiot kept moving the moon.
