Raw files are quite large. Can't you take the card out of the camera and slip it into the computer either directly or via an adaptor? I do all file transfers that way as it is very quick.

I bought it with a spare battery Adrian and I will buy a third party charger. Just seems a shame to me that Panasonic do not supply one. Yes I can take the sd card out easily and slip it directly in the iMac but the wifi transfer facility is so much easier. While on holiday for instance easy download to the iPad is a bonus, having to cart another gadget, ie a card reader, would be a PITA.

so as not to detract from your thread, I'm not posting the image fully here, but this link is my shot of the moon a few years ago (ignore the date, camera Exif is never set right).

edit:
having looked at the settings, you aren't far off the same as me, but considerably more noisy, which none of your settings would have resulted in really.

if you are still mulling over the basics, there's a book called Understanding Exposure by Bryan Peterson which might be of some use. It has good reviews. If you couple that with a book on composition, you won't really need anything else.

Was that hand held Dave? I had a tripod ready last night but cloud cover won and I wasn't about to get up at 4am for the Blood Moon eclipse.

Thanks Andy, composition is the least of my worries. I will take a look at the book, thanks.

When you use the term "noise" do you mean out of focus?

Haven't got a tripod, find something to lean on.
