I've a few more to work through and might have one or two useable ones with the lenses.
I also found it best to remove the diagonal..which is why my knees are now killing me from kneeling on a cold concrete floor

Moon was a bit too bright. I'd rather look at a partial moon, you can see much more detail along the divide.
Still, next weekend should be good, if the weather stays clear.

Knowing how "experts" look at photos gave me a good insight into what I should be looking for when I take a photo.
Here is a link to the book on AMazon.

In addition, with the K20D and later models the sensor is clamped into position when SR is off.

Some of the CCTV cameras we use have a green filter over the sensor in daylight and when they switch to mono for low light images a tiny solenoid moves the filter out of the away. Probably the same sort of thing to clamp the sensor.

*sighs* is this still going on
There have been other incidents of police involvement in things they had no right to. I think the feeling amongst some in the UK is that there is a slow, barely perceptible erosion of civil liberties. That is why this topic keeps raising its head.
Also, as for was he identifiable as BBC? My interpretation from that interview was that he was on his way home and just stopped to take the shot, so I would presume he was just "joe public" and didn't have a "Press" badge

Would love to know how to inject structure or energy, but I'm sure there's no simple answer suited to a post in a messageboard forum.
I cringe when I look at what I was posting on here when I joined. I've still got a long way to go, but by taking on board what I've been told by the way of C&C, I have improved by a country mile

I could either get the whole moon in the size of the first, or add an eyepiece and get a partial moon.
