If you have seen my web-page, I am mainly interested in wide field astrophotography, using long-exposure modified webcams and wide open fast scopes.
Tonight, I felt more of doing something quick and simple, the moon is showing a nice age, hence, the order of the day, a long lens with a short shutter time.

Of course, there if so much light that the settings could be really tuned towards low noise.
To establish focus, I actually used Magic Lantern's focus peak, despite my concerns about the health of the camera.
Parameters of this shot:
- ISO 100
- s/13
- WB = daylight
- RAW format
- D=90mm
- f=1250mm
- f/13.9 (obviously)
This shot was taken on a tripod but w/o any remote shutter release.
Post-processing in GIMP using a bit of noise reduction, a hint of sharpening and desaturation by luminosity. Finally, the image was scaled. No cropping though!
Just for your entertainment, this is what the colored pic looks alike:
