Night Photography I have been trying to take a decent photo of the moon - have read a lot about astrophotography etc on the internet, but can't find *specific* settings anywhere - as I am really struggling to get it right, I would really appreciate some suggestions!! (in terms of ASA film, shutter/aperture etc - have tried all sorts of things with little consistent success - what settings would *you* use to get a clear unoverexposed picture of the moon at night? All I'm getting is either a bright white blob or a brown muddy sky.... (I have a 200mm lens, tripod, shutter release at my disposal if necessary)

Well, the moon lighted up by the sun, so you should use the sunny 16 rule. Which means, you should set the shutter speed the same speed as your film and set your aperture to f/16. For example: If you use 100 ISO film: your exposure would be: 1/125, f/16 If you use 200 ISO film: 1/250, f/16 400 ISO: 1/500, f/16 and so on.
