Have a big moon and need help Susanne if you are up

Sorry I didn't see this in time, Gill. Not that I'd have been much help. I think to take good pics of the moon you'd need a fairly slow shutter speed (I'd probably use tv or manual) and to make sure your metering was centred on the moon itself and not taking an average reading due to the contrast between the sky and the bright sky.

I have pictures Mary 

Gonna put them on a new thread, it was sooooooooooooo bright the camera couldnt cope.

Ummmmm rather a lot of pics lol nearly 300!

Juszt couldnt get it really in focus but think that was part the brightness

Pity you didn't get any good pics Gill. I was in bed and woke up to what I thought was a ruddy spot light shining in my window.  I don't close my bedroom curtains so it was really bright and thought about getting up for my camera but was too tired.

It was magnificent.  There were lots of dark clouds above it and broken dark clouds underneath that were travelling very fast.  About 5 minutes later all was black.  Was quite spooky.
