Thought I would have a play around with my new Sigma 70-300 APO while the moon was clear and full.

Quite happy with this for a first attempt at moon photography, even if it is 100% cropped. Will have to get the Bigma zoom lens for better shots.

quite pleased with the range of lighting in this one.

Couldn't get the focus any better for this one :( any tips on focusing as it looks good through the viewfinder but came out like this.

personally I shoot then magnify in the viewfinder to check on shots like that, the magnify isn't as powerful on the D50/70 asthe D200 though I don't think

still, looks like you're getting good results from it!

I'm sorry but I don't understand one word of that. Care to explain?

That was my advice for focusing as the viewfinder won't be much use for such a small subject, particularly at night, i forgot to say obviously if it isn't in focus then tweak it with manual focus
 
Sorry Big red, you mean you take a shot, check to see if it's in focus and then adjust as necessary? I used to do that with my old olympus C-5000 but I find that the screen on the D50 doesn't give that clear an image, at least not for that sort of thing.

yeah, it might not be easy on a D50, the D200 has an amazing screen and zoom function so it's easy. Probably you're best bet is manual focus...
