Thank you Bob!
Did the camera autofocus?
Care to share the distance?
Nice image

The camera did auto focus, as far as the distance goes, I would guess about 50 yards.
The Sport is a great lens, well built and weather sealed, but it's heavy.

And, costlier ! - with a smaller f-stop for AF focus ....

Better lenses usually cost more. Better build quality, completely weather sealed, sharper, and an extra 100 mm of reach. And further more, the focusing at 6.3 is just as fast as at 5.6.
It also plays very well with the Sigma 1.4 TC.

If the sky is clear, I'll be out with the D810 and 150-600 Sigma Sport. No tripod necessary!

They didn't tell us how to focus to infinity. On Nikon AF lenses it's difficult to set focus to infinity.
I just use auto focus.

Using Nikon's tips, I wonder what ISO would produce the best images with minimum noise where there is virtually no light pollution?

You probably know that shooting the moon is the same as shooting any day lit scene. Here for the length of your lens your shutter was way too slow. I normally shoot the moon at ISO 400 1/1000 sec and about f8. to f10
I used an 80/400 auto focus. 70 /210 Vivitar Ser..1. 100/300 sears manual focus for Minolta. 70/300, EOS auto focus though it wn't focus on the EX6. I got sharp pictures with all, shooting hand held.

You don't really need a fast shutter speed for a moon shot, but you need a steady hand or good tripod.
This was shot handheld, auto focus, D810 w/ Sigma 150-600 Sport
