Use my Moonshot Method to capture high-quality moon images with a camera, tripod, and telephoto lens. 1. Mount your DSLR camera onto a tripod. This will keep your camera steady and prevent any unwanted shake during filming. 2. Attach the Telephoto Lens: Use a telephoto lens with a focal length of at least 200mm to get a close-up view of the moon. The longer the focal length, the more detail you’ll be able to capture.
