Nice job kid77, I actually thought you were using a Nikkor 18-200VR awhile ago, do you like this Sigma 18-200 dc better?

Good to hear from you again, what settings did you use?
I'm assuming the Nikon lens. I have tried some moon shots, but
usually come away with nothing usable.

The results of the 70-200 speak for themselves. Hand-held moon shots at night are pretty rare. Pretty darn good.
