I'm such a noob with astro but this is from last year when I was in Buellton
On a ranch on the Central Coast with very little city light to screw me. Playing with the 1.4 on the 70-700 (effective 280mm)f/4, iso 160. Cropped to my hearts content.

Lovely shot Keith!

Since you have a 5DIII, why don't you load MagicLantern and use the dual ISO feature for shots like this. That way you could expose for the moon and the landscape in a single shot.

I took this 2 nights ago in Pafos in Cyprus. The focal length was 1800mm on a 7DII, using a Kenko 3xTC stacked onto a Canon 2xTCIII on a 300mm f/2.8 II. I hand held the set up, loosely balanced on a shaking palm tree, focussed automatically in liveview, and could just get the moon into the frame. Exposure was 1/80s, f/17 iso 640. It was a miracle I got a sharp shot.

Excellent...especially handheld! 8)

Thanks I went up the mountain and clouds moved in as I set up. I was about ready to pack it in but decided to snap a few. Sometimes you never know what you'll get.

HI Guys

Just thought id update here on my 100-400mm canon Mk2 lens.
It (probably like all other lenses) makes a big difference on getting the correct light on the subject, to get the best sharpness.
Got some perfectly sharp bird pics, if you want to see them. What do you think?

Cloudy Full Moon, 15-5-14 by Tom Scott, on Flickr

Not really a huge amount of range but the atmosphere was really cool.

5DMKIII Tamron 150-600mm F6.3 1/2 sec unfortunately not that sharp.

Shooting the moon over the sea is a lot easier than over rooftops in town...there's less haze and a lot less heat distortion. Taken with a 70-200mm f2.8 LIS II, a stacked 2x and 1.4x tc's.
Image then cropped.

This image is of the last blood moon. Taken with a 400mm f2.8 LIS, a 2x TC and a 1.4x TC and is uncropped. The twinkling stars are visible due to the low level of light coming from the moon. During the blood moon event, it was't very bights at all.

Very nice pictures, GMCPhotographics. I especially like the second one.

Thanks,

I took this a few nights ago using the same rig:

It's a 2 shot exposure blend to get the full contrast range

Took this (full crop with just file size reduction for upload) a couple nights ago, just one evening before full moon at after 9:30 PM.
