Great tutorial, Rafael. I get this question a lot too. And even us experienced photographers make the mistake of not planning and leaving our aperture too big. Sometimes you can't tell either the moon or your subject are out of focus in the viewfinder. And sometimes it is difficult to estimate the distance of the subject. Always good to check Photopills before shooting.

I'm going to live demo (in a virtual meeting) PhotoPills to my local camera club next week - so this was a very nice refresher. I've been studying and you have so many great resources. The fine-tuning step was one that I've generally not used. And - the size of the moon vs. your other subject. Thanks.

Thank you. It finally makes sense to me now. I'm not sure I can do everything you did in photopills app (argh!!!) but I will try. At least I understand the concept now and I love how you explained that focal lenth and aperature control the distance away where focus to infinity occurs. Photopills is the best and thanks for the great video and explanation! Much appreciated!

Two more options: In this case there was nothing to focus on beyond the lighthouse. But you could use your map to find a place that is the same distance as the hyper focal distance, focus on that, set your focus to manual, and switch back. A way in PP to draw a circle at the hyper focal distance would help doing this. A second option is to move to one side, take a picture of the moon beside your subject, focused only on the moon. Then take a picture of your subject without the moon, and composite in post. This can result in parallax problems if you are including the horizon. You can also shoot the lighthouse first at optimum light, then shoot the moon when it's above the light house, and 'move the moon' in post.

Maybe it's good to show how to change the hight of the black (and red pin). Because it's possible that the position of the camera could be 10 or more meters above ground level (on top of a building). A total different situation if you want to shoot the moon right above or on top a building.

You don't really relate that this is theoretically impossible have both in sharp focus. The problem is that people see the composites every amateur does and puts in their portfolio or 2 different photos and think they can do the same with just one exposure. Even using your suggestion, you need at least a 400mm ( cheapest canon $600 used) and a really steady tripod. Not happening for most.
