Good shot.
Showing the two different moons in shot shows that the moon is also rotating.

I want to do some astrophotography and it seems like the recommended way is to use a medium wideangle lens e.g. 20-35mm on a FF. Use full aperture f1.4-f2.8, ISO 2000-3200, exposure 10-20 seconds. This shows all the stars and you get very little movement.

Remember with your telephoto if you dont want sausage stars you need to shoot even faster.

A tip. If you push the Info button then the exposure settings are shown in the TFT screen on the camera for 15-20 secs. Should work for all Nikons with an Info button. Also if you push the Off/On toggle collar past On then it lights up the top LCD panel.
