Nice shot, milestogo. I'm still struggling with getting settings right. Hand held D500 with Sigma 150-400 and severely cropped.
Decided to go out early and fight the misquitoes to get a picture of the "Blue Moon". Full disclosure, some adjustments to color may have been made in post! Had fun with it and my wife loved it.
Good enough for me...John

Not sure you meant me, maranatha, but "just in case".
Was shooting in the dark and in manual. Totally screwed up on ISO set at 10,000, meant to set to 1000!. Had to shoot at f/22 and 1/500 to get this one. Not reasonable settings, but I'm still learning. Shot a series starting at ISO 800, f/11 and 1/125, but that overexposed the moon dramatically. Then I starting increasing the f stop and shutter speed, not sure when I managed to hit the ISO and move it to 10,000. Hand holding the D500 and Sigma 100-400 getting to be a bit much for this 77 yr old!
Hopefully others will reply and give you reasonable starting points for a full moon.... John
