This is what the whole 800mm gets me out of the RF 200-800.

To the astonishment of people who have never tried to take a picture straight at the moon before, this is only a 1/800 sec exposure at ISO-100. The normal rules about nighttime sky photography don't apply for the moon on a clear night, because it's lit by direct sunlight.

The moon was partially eclipsed yesterday here in the Netherlands, but unfortunately I didn't get too good of a shot due to cloud cover, buildings in the way, and not a lot of time to dial in the settings. I think this was the best one, but sadly it wasn't red anymore like it was earlier during the eclipse. Not sure how well it'll translate to here, but if you zoom in enough you see that my attempt at sensor shift super resolution failed because the moon was going too fast, leading to some funky grid-like artifacts.

Camera: Olympus EM-5 Mark II, lens was the 40-150mm (80-300mm full frame equiv.) plastic fantastic zoomy boy at full zoom. F/5.6, 1/100, ISO 200.
