Nice. Can you make a special trip to Yacolt, Wa. to teach me? Lots of mountains and wildlife.

Well, you forget that when you photograph the moon, the rock is so far away that you do not need an f/8. I routinely photography the moon using 200 ISO with the lens fully open. The depth of field in my photos of the moon is fine because the distance is so far away. This image that I am including was from the super moon on 2015, at the darkest point I shot the moon using 200 ISO, f/4.0 at 2 seconds.
Look, if you are interested to try, using these settings next time.
ISO 100
f/16 at 1/125 of a second. You know that this gives you the correct exposure of the moon, right?
So will this.
f/11 at 1/250
f/8 at 1/500
f/5.6 at 1/1000
f/4.0 at 1/2000
f/2.8 at 1/4000
Yes! You can take pictures of the moon without a tripod, with the camera in your hand at 1/4000 of a second shutter speed. This is called “reciprocal exposures”. And I routinely teach this to my students at Truman College in Chicago. I never accept their excuses because until they try it, they cannot tell me that it does not work. I know that many people barely know their camera, much less photography. My students come to my classes because I like to teach them properly, I do not just tell them to do something because I say so. I have been doing this for almost 40 years and there is nothing technical about photography that I do not know and have done myself. That includes anything with a film camera.
I hope you do not take this the wrong way, some people in this group are "very sensitive".
Cheers
