Photographing the moon How do you take a photo of the moon or other planets visible to naked eye? I have heard that Mars will be close to the earth in August and much more visible than it has been for thousands of years. Can an amateur photographer take a decent photo of this event?

hi susan i got that same e-mail about mars last week and sad to say it is some what late it happened aug. 27th 2003. and won't happen agian untill something like 2265 :>( but about your ? the moon when full is in direct sun light and shots at about sunny f/16. althought I think its more like sunny f/11 and bracketing is a good idea.

Hi Jason - thanks for your response - I'm glad you got the same e-mail so you know where I heard about Mars being near the earth - thanks for setting me straight on that! I guess I can forget about photographing that event! But it's good to know how to photograph the moon anyway.

Do we need a telephoto lens or some special filter? if someone shoot with a regular 35-80mm lens, will it be okay? What about at night? Thanks
