Very nice clear shot, did you have the mirror locked up?

Also, what lens were you using, the 70-300? Thanks.

Thanks, I did see your other post about locking the mirror but didn't have time last night to work it out. I've since seen you can do it on the D3100 but it's for cleaning purposes and not sure you can do it while taking a photo.

The lens was the 55-300, was on a tripod with VR switched off. I think this one was manually focused through magnified live view but there was little difference between that and an autofocused one.

HDR? I didn't stack any of the images.

I think that what he means by "I took 30 pictures" is that he made 30 attempts to capture the moon and of the 30 this was the best.

Very nice!

It's very fortunate that many of us in the UK had the opportunity to do this - typically we're clouded over!
