Using a high ISO does not necessarily mean a washed out moon. It depends on all your settings. Two nights ago I shot the moon and was using the camera on extreme automation ------ by that I mean auto focus, auto exposure, and auto ISO. I didn't realize the camera set the ISO at 4000 until after the fact. I have been fooling around with auto ISO for a week or so to see if there is any benefit to using it. So far, it sets a higher ISO than I would on my on and though the results aren't too bad, I don't think I like it for the most part. Here is a shot that came from the group I took: ISO 4000, shutter 1/4000, aperture f8.

That's why I stated a too high ISO (like in your case, while high, the ISO seems not too high, because you used a according shutter speed), if you don't, clearly your image will be washed out, even on the camera's screen.

The main problem with the D7000 live view mode is because there is a bug in the firmware. I was also attempting to take some moon shots. I was going to focus the lens in live view because you can zoom in and focus this magnified image. The moon was causing the image sensor to bloom some so I thought I would fix this by hitting the depth of field preview to close down the aperture to what I had set it to in the manual mode. Turns out that at least for the D7000 the DOFP does not function in live view. I ask Nikon support about this and they confirmed my finding pointing out that the D7000 has no DOFP function in live view. So I had to focus using the optical view finder.

Interesting to note that my D800E does allow DOFP in live view.

Checked out the latest firmware update for the D7000 and still no mention of fixing this problem yet.
