I don't like you...only because I have never ever managed to get anything as superb as this!

Top moon shot...

Thanks for the kind feedback chaps ...had the Moon been at Perigee (closest to Earth) detail would be better.

Andrew I don't mind being hated ...in the best possible way...thank you!

Hi mikey,

I love this picture. Fantastic detail!
I'm very new to photography and would love to get into star photography. Im moving to westerrn australia in a few months so will have plenty of long warm evenings to spend trying out this style.
Is this something you can do on a relatively small budget or is it initially expensive to kit out? I have the k5 but only standard every day lenses.
Where do you buy lenses to shoot these kind of shots?

Regards

Darren
