When it comes to the Moon and planets, size matters. This was shot
with a Panasonic G1 and a home-made 1000mm f8 lens. The lens aperture
was 120mm.

OK, I need to just give up. Homemade, no less. An expensive tripod
doesn't hold my 500mm lens adequately still; I leave image stabilization
turned on. How do you hold that 1000mm monster still enough?

Tripod? Did you really say “tripod�? A f**king TRIPOP?
What do you think this is, photographing your sister’s wedding and
you don’t want confetti on the lens? Yes, you need to just give up!
