The Monster-1000A continues to delight me with its capabilities. These pictures were taken one day before the full moon. And this is a great success, because on the day of the full moon, the sky was covered with clouds.
I processed the first picture in the Lightroom, cropped it to 100% scale, added sharpness, changed the toning. But in order for the test to be honest, I will show you "clean" results without processing.
This picture was taken without a tripod. I put the lens on wooden stands. There is no subway line under my house, I can assume that it does not vibrate. That is, it is the most reliable support for the lens.
ISO160; 1/80 сек
crop about 100%
Then I took a series of pictures from a tripod, for which I had to go down to the yard.
ISO250; 1/200 сек
crop about 100%
The tripod showed convincing reliability even at such a low shutter speed for it.
Some observations and conclusions.
First, the moon moves across the screen. While I was fiddling with the settings, she managed to pass a quarter of the screen horizontally.
Secondly, the moon is not really the color that we see with the naked eye. I saw an orange in the sky, but if you set the automatic white balance, the picture turns out to be almost colorless.
If we go a little bit in the direction of cold tones...
In fact, we get a "mirror" or a matte reflector of light. What kind of light hit, this is the color we get.
I think that being in the middle of the forest I could get clearer and more reliable photos. There are too many parasitic light sources in the city.
The general conclusion, I was glad to buy a lens and a tripod. The money was not spent in vain.
