Testing out a sub $80 75-300mm used lens purchased online

I have been meaning to get a lens good enough to do some stacked photos of the moon and I think I found one that should do the trick. Its a used lens, but everything seems to work fine and should be suitable for the projects I want to use it for. I ended up using only 20 of the 400+ photos I took of the moon for this stacked photo because of some user error on my side of things. This was one of the edits to bring out some color in the moon and give it a more epic appearance.

This next shot is blown up a little more but I was fairly happy with the test results so far. I plan to create an image with 200+ stacked images in the future but for now this is just a test of the new to me lens.

Another edited shot with color

Here is the original stacked shot before I did any color edits, a stacked photo with 200+ shots should bring out more detail and I plan to get one the next time we have a full moon.

Do you have a favorite?
