I found this on email or F/B a while ago and thought it was interesting
When I shoot at night, I do not want the stars to streak, and I don't want the moon to overexpose. The creator of this chart does not seem to care about these issues. Nightscapes are good for HDR efforts.

Why?
The recommended moon exposure of 1/250 - f/8 - ISO 100 is right in line with the "sunny 11"
Which agrees perfectly with my Black Cat Exposure guide. (which I find to be very accurate.)
The floodlit football setting would have the players in a blur as they move. The slowest I ever go is 1/500 and that is still a little too slow at times. I wonder who came up with these settings?
for moon exposure,you need to use spot metering,use manual focus and focus to infinity and need to use daylight or cloudy white balancing or use auto white balancr and adjust it during postprocessing especially if you shoot RAW
