<p>Note to self: Leave filters in bag when shooting moon.</p>

<p>Thanks gents.</p>

<p>This was my first try at shooting the moon so the learning curve here is pretty big. My first thought was the atmosphere as it was a rather humid night. I'll give the bag test a try and see what happens. I'm glad to know that I'm not the only one it makes crazy so I can quit flogging myself now.</p>

<p>The moon was in sharp focus in my view finder yet the image came out distorted and I have no clue as to why.<br>

Camera: Canon EOS Rebel T3i<br>

Lens: 500mm tube f/8 CPL filter<br>

Exposure: 1/60<br>

Camera was mounted on a tripod and I was using a cable release. This seems to have happened on most of the pictures I took that night. Any information would be helpful thanks in advanced.</p>

<p>Finally was able to replace my camera equipment that was stolen from my hotel room last spring. <br>

All I have left of the lot (my Olympus E450 and Minolta 35mm were the victims) is a Five Star 500mm lens that currently has a mount on it for my Minolta 35mm and I just bought a Canon T3i is there a mount available so that I can use it on my new Canon or should I just put it on eBay and buy a new 500mm tube for it?<br>
