Full Moon (photograph)

Date: 19th Feb 1989
Time: 22:20 UT
Exposure: 1/4 sec f64
Equipment: 800mm FL f8 telephoto lens with a 2x teleconverter
to give a focal length of 1600mm.
Film: Kodak Tec Pan 2415
Developed in Technidol for 15min @ 20 deg C

Notes:

The lens was mounted on a tripod with a small drive. The exposure
was made with the aid of a black piece of card held over the lens.
When the shutter was pressed (cable release) the card was moved
away to make the exposure then the card replaced over the lens to
stop the exposure. The above was necessary as the opening of the
shutter caused the lens to shake.
