Rather recently I picked up a second camera (Sony RX10 MIV). I had to walk the dog late last night and the moon gave me the idea to try out the range of the lens. I haven't had much success with moon shots but I wasn't trying to concentrate on the image quality so I didn't bother to pull out the tripod. I recalled a recent topic on this site about trying something like a 'sunny 16' rule for the moon. So I opted for setting it on Manual at f/11, 1/250, 600mm and auto ISO (ended up 6400). Got more than I expected...thanks to the value of UHH.

Thanks, pixelStan77. Tried to delete to add download, but I'm a bit slow this AM.

Thank you, Bultaco. In this case, I'll humbly give the shutter speed the credit for overriding my limits of control.
