Sorry, Kurt -- for some reason, I thought it was Chuck. I'll post my moon/Mars shot tomorrow, not that it's so great. I got a nice moon view too through a 400 mm. lens. I wasn't using a tripod. I will try tonight with a tripod and see what I get -- using a tripod I might be able to shoot a slightly longer exposure, with a lower ISO rating so that the image is not as coarse. It depends on how much the moon moves with a longer exposure, as I won't bother tracking. As far as filters go, I don't know of a way to adjust for this kind of brightness difference. My theory is that whatever you do to one part of the photo you should do with the rest. -- Joe
