Absolutely none of my moon shots come out satisfactory. BLAH!
I am determined to get some good moon shots through this weekend, while it is clear and fog free.

Any help and advice is appreciated.


Thanks!

Below is a lunar eclipse I shot on the beach (I slowed the shutter, used a tripod and patience, and took several shots with various configurations and filters):

Unfortunately, I can't remember what my exact settings were, but they all came out quite well and I think the tripod had a lot to do with it. I will say this - the slower the shutter speed, the brighter the photo - but keep the tripod super steady and pray no wind sweeps sand at you while you are trying to keep it still and stable!
