Moon

The Moon looked to be nice and clear last night. I fitted the adaptor to my 100-400mm zoom lens and attached the M5 to see what it could do. All was held steady on a tripod. It was the first time I found the facility to angle the screen useful as the camera was pointing up at a fair angle.

First I managed to capture the Moon with Jupiter which is really bright at the moment.
Jupiter is the white dot just showing near the bottom left of the photo.

Then a full zoom on just the Moon.

Very pleased with the amount of detail captured.

  1. You have a nice piece of kit there John. Weight of kit and carrying it is a big factor for me and thats why I use my Canon SX720 a lot. It has its faults but its light.
