I try to get a shot of the Moon every now and then. I used my Kodak P712 with manual controls set to f5.6 at 1/125th of a second using as digital equivalent of 64 ISO speed film. I also used a warming filter to heighten the contrast. I wasn't too fussy here, I didn't use a tripod and it was a bit hazy. If I were serious, a tripod would have been a must and would have shot it using jpeg raw format. i'll try one, shot properly, some clear night in the future. Perhaps there will be a difference. Still, the Moon is a beautiful night object. I think you get the best shots when the Moon is not completely full as the termination line (where the shadow goes from light to dark) often brings details into better relief. This picture-I shot tonight-shows nice detail towards the bottom. The large crater with the bright inner ridge is called Clavis. The bright crater just above and at 1 o'clock is Tyco. The large crater midway (in the grey) is called Copernicus. Just emerging, towards the top is Montes Jura, what remains of the crater ridge of Sinus Iridum, which is at the western edge of Mare Imbrium. Not bad detail, considering the equipment.
