The Contemporary keeps shining each time I view your shots.

Which forum was that? Thanks, it was shot on a Tripod though, no way I could do that handheld!

what lens did you use ?

On what camera? On the olympus and panasonic its like magic!

Ive pulled off 0.25s shots before now

Not a camera fault, I just find my shots a touch sharper.
Plus I have steady hands.
Been the same with other cameras, one of them a Panasonic with it's mega ois.

I find ois make my shots worse if anything.

If you have sufficient shutter speed for the focal length then you should turn off IS/VR/OS, especially if the shutter speed is more than 1/100th second.

Also turn it off on a tripod.

Hi,

I couldn't find an astro thread

You should come and share it here.

Always do, as for the tripod don't need to as the camera knows when it's mounted

I'm not trying to be argumentative, but what's the basis for the 1/100th sec rule? I ask as I've got an a7r2 and have wondered when to turn off IBIS. I saw a guy (Jim Kasson) testing handheld shots with the sony a7mk2 who found IBIS helped up to 4x focal length using a 55mm lens (though pretty much 100% of sharpness came before 1/FL×2).

Nice photo!

I am borrowing a Canon 100-400mm L lens and I was pleased with my first moon shot. I did some highlight/shadows editing but I'm not really sure how best to do it and it clearly looks (to me now) over sharpened and possibly some iso noise - even though it was only 200... hmmm
Here is the edited shot:
