I practice photography. I took this pic tonight on a film lens on my canon 200D (sl2). Its at 230mm at f22. Focus is set at infinity. ISO was at 100 and the shutter speed was at 1/21 seconds. Its an APC sensor so the crop factor is 1.6 brining the focal length to 368mm. I edited it in Adobe Lightroom. <https://stock.adobe.com/contributor/207691084/Daniel>

Try not using F22 because of the diffraction, maybe try f8-f11 for a sharper image? Also sometimes setting the focus to infinity puts it actually past it, so try to manually achieve the sharpest focust.
Overall quite a good picture, maybe a bit fussy, but overall good.
But quick question? If you shot at F22, iso 100 and 1/21, how is the image not very dark? Did you bring the exposure up in post, or is the moon actually that bright?

@GDRRiley Nah, i don't think so. 21 secs is way too long of an exposure time for such a close up, the moon actually moves pretty fast, so it would be blur city.
1/21 seems okay for the level of blur on his photo.

This is an old film lens that has quite severe chromatic aberration at the faster stops. I actually took many pics at all various of settings, but this pic seemed the sharpest. I took pics from f4.5 to f22 and noticed that I could not tell much difference between f11 through f22. This of course is all manual. I also took a video of the moon and it does indeed cross the night sky quickly. https://youtu.be/CabB8m-ClFM
The moon is quite bright against the night sky.

@rubberpuppy Nice lens!
And yeah the picture is still quite good, just a tiny bit blurry, but with and old lens it can be understandable.
Also your quoting didn't work for some reason, it should look orange and stuff, not normal text.
