Thank you very much. Actually on my µ4/3 camera my 300-mm lens has the angle of view (magnification) of a 600-mm on a 35-mm camera due to the smaller sensor size.

Thank you so much. I'd trade with your ability to take those gorgeous landscapes! I used a very long lens (equivalent to 600 mm on a full-frame sensor) and the camera was on a tripod. I used spot metering on the moon to get the exposure.

Gute Aufnahme, ab 300mm macht das auch richtig Spaß, zumal du sehr gute Sicht hattest.
Vom Prinzip kannst du noch viel kürzere Belichtungszeiten wählen, wenn du aus der Hand fotografieren solltest. 1/320s bei f7,1 und ISO 100 ist bei deiner Oly kein Problem.

Many thanks for your comments. ISO 200 is the base ISO for my camera, which is why I used it. I understand your suggestions: the reason I used a small aperture (perhaps wrongly) was that I wasn't sure how well the camera would focus, so I wanted to have some extra depth of field to allow for possible slight focus error.. But I agree that I should have used a wider aperture and simply taken more photos and then chose one that was in good focus. Thank you again.
