Description

I had to try my hand at a mineral moon, but I didn't feel like dragging the scope out just for a moon shot when the clouds were at around 80%.  I decided to break out one of my first telephoto lenses that I ever got as a teenager--a Quantaray 600-1000mm lens (retail $60), and paired it with my Canon T2i.  Got about 50 individual frames before the clouds rolled in.

Proof that you don't need amazing equipment to get decent photos and have fun in this hobby.
