The sky was clear and the moon was nearly full (coming Dec. 15). I don't usually try to shoot this phase because it lacks the shadows that make the craters and mountains pop. As an experiment I matched the exposure time to the ISO. The photo turned out better than expected.

ISO 100 (my usual setting for the moon)
f16
1/100 sec

Here is the image of today's moon which I obtained from the Fourmilab website. John1956PA Dec 2024 #9
That depends on when the image was taken. The moon changes inclination throughout the night. Mousetoescamper Dec 2024 #10
