I struggle to get a really clear shot. But these were the best of the bunch.

You sound a bit disappointed about about these Scott.
Your iso was low at 100 and so was your speed, especially if you were hand holding.
Did you use a tripod?
For a 270mm lens these don't look too bad at all really.

Not bad at all. I'm never happy with my "close ups'" of the moon either but these show good detail - even some craters visible.

I'm never happy unless the pics are perfect.
I guess I set standards to high for myself.

I did use a tripod.
I though 1/200 was about the right speed. Should it have been faster??
And I never thought of bumping up the ISO.

If it is clear tonight I might have another go.

Thank you both for your kind words.
