Hi Liquidstone,

Amazing shot you've got. I shoot the moon with a 1250mm telescope on a D80 but results isn't as sharp as yours. Did you use an equatorial mount to track the moon? And was it a single exposure or a mosaic?

Thanks in advance!

Thanks, guys....

I used my regular birding support (Manfrotto 475B tripod + 3421 gimbal head), and this is a single exposure (1/40 sec with 1600 mm is still fast enough to freeze the moon).
