I was originally going to submit these snaps under the Harvest Moon thread. However, my efforts that evening were hampered by clouds and my lack of patience. The first snap was taken on 4 October and the third on 8 October (neatly bracketting the Harvest Moon). The second was taken of the eclipse on 7 September.
I had previously seen some moon pictures on a Panasonic forum where the owner of an FZ20 had used digital x 4, F11 and 1/15. I have used an FZ30 with an Olympus Tcon17 and F11 and 1/15. There is a tendency for the moon to look slightly orange and full of Cheddar. To combat this, I altered the white balance to fluoresecent and ended up with a blue moon - cue for a song here, but not perhaps with my voice.
These settings may or may not work with other cameras; I have no idea but experts might point the way.
