EW shame on you; we can't download that! Howard, you have the exposure equivalent set at 1.4 and it shouldn't work but it does, congrats! But f5.6 is too large for a field of focus that big, do you know what I mean. You need to work out a formula for f9, f11, f16, or even f22. There are 2400 new impact craters or marks that don't even show in the image. I know I will get reamed for that but, your focus was not that good. I tried tonight and not one turned out, so.
You are correct, my focus could have been better; I did not try for the best photo. I was only trying to make a point to those people who have written to this forum asking how to get a simple shot of the moon. There is usually a question about the moon moving! I used the setting that were on the camera and took a picture. To get a more detailed image, I would have payed attention to the settings - I didn't and even then I got a decent image. My point was - IT'S NOT HARD TO DO, just go out and give it a try. You will improve by doing it.
