Cool. You're quite an early bird.

I try to use spot-metering, but more often than not I forget to.

Jethro,

Yeah. Did you see the ISO on that picture?

The camera was desperately trying to brighten up that shot as much as it could. One thing about the T8i though, it handles high ISO pretty well, I think.

Yikes!

12800 is the highest ISO my 7D does, I think your 850D goes a step or two further.

I should have spot metered on the moon and let the rest go to silhouette. (Which I was aiming for to begin with)

If you shoot in any of the MASP modes (manual etc.) you could also try using exposure compensation.

Recently I was shooting the moon with my 7d on a tripod. I had the exposure perfect (like you aimed to do) in live-view. Then, when I changed to the viewfinder, the moon was completely over-exposed. Grrr.

I guess it's a feature of the older cameras. I wonder if your 850d does the same.
