Been waiting for over a month to get a moon shot with my new lens and converters.
Very windy outside, but finally a clear night (for now...rain on the way, hence the wind)
Not a full moon...but what say you the DPC folk?

It really is made out of green cheese :)

Nice to be able to get 960mm, but I think all the converters you have on there have taken the edge off the sharpness a little.
I've found that when I stack a 1.4 converter with my 100-400 that is really does take the edge off the quality. |

Nice shot, prof. fate, though I do agree that a bit more sharpness would be nice. Still, a gazillion times better than anything I've been able to muster! :')
And jmsetzler: it's a simple question, just answer yes or no: would you eat the moon if it were made out of green cheese?
I'm just curious. That's why my friends call me "Whiskers" ~ cause I'm curious like a cat.

I think that's a great moon shot. I'm jealous lol. My heart was set on taking some really good moonshots when I got my new camera thinking I would have a lot more zoom. I need to get a different lens because my 45-150 just isn't enough lol. And we're kind of in the country so on a clear night with a full moon it can light up the whole sky.

| I am very impressed ... I would love to be able to photograph the moon in such a manner.... looks lonely and cold and mysterious. |

it appears you were "wide open" on the lens with the two stacked converters. That's part of the reason that you're getting a soft image. Try stopping down one or even better two stops, and upping the ISO to compensate.
The shutter speed of 1/50 with the windy conditions prolly did not help sharpness either. You'll surely get better conditions to try again, and I'm sure you'll get even better results.
Also remember to shoot it when it is as high as possible above the horizon, to minimize effects of atmospheric turbulence (you're looking through less atmosphere).
