 Just found my 2x teleconverter, I bought this thing like 20 years ago and really thought I had lost it, so anyway I had to try a Moon shot with it attached to my 100-300 lens...not sure about the quality but it really brings it up close and personal!! LOL.

This is roughly half sized, at full res. it is a bit too grainy.

So beautiful! Great clarity, I can't believe how clear this is with it being so far away!

I love you moon shots (I almost just put moons, but that brought up a disturbing mental image)

Great colour and sharpness and size

Very very jealous

Very beautiful! Love the reddish/orangeish glow. I'm always fascinated by that tiny circle that you can see sometimes on closeups of the moon. I am sure it is much more fascinating to see this in person. Be glad you can do this!

Argh, I just accidentally deleted my long comment. As I was saying... Cool photo! How great that you found the converter and that it worked with your lens. I've never taken a photo like this, but I understand you have to shoot fairly quickly at this magnitude before the moon travels out of the frame.

Hey that's fun. What a treat to find a long lost something and getting to see results right away. It's amazing the things you find when you have to move. Grainy or not you get to see a lot of fetaures on that moon. Good shot Jack.

Great color, and probably more accurate than our eyes that tend to auto-adjust white balance.

WOW! That's awesome I wish I had the camera/lens/equip. to get these types of shots. That's really cool, I'm glad you found your teleconverter!

Sweet! A red Moon - very cool. And what detail. Nevermind the grain - it works here.

Cool details and texture. That crater at the lower right looks like there was a stem there at one time and we're really looking at a funky citrus fruit!
