I took a shot of the moon on my 500mm / D750 combination before going to bed then set the alarm for 3:30 (though my bladder was 15 minutes a head of it!!!) and stubbled on to the back lawn. That's when you realise that the settings (ISO, shutter speed) are different to a full moon DUH!!!!
Fumbling about was a good exercise in finding all the buttons you want in the dark !!! (yeah I know they invented torches for such a moment)
I suppose I should have whacked the D750s ISO right up, taken multiple shots and superimposed them in levels to null out the resulting noise...but I was still half asleep. So when you look at the results (several hours later) you realise a 2sec exposure means you get star sausages...and a blurry moon. Unless of course the moon was shivering with fear at the darkness? And I got gnat bit!!
