This is the first good moon picture I've ever gotten. I'm pretty pleased.
I've gotten some good ones, but not consistently. In addition to under exposing by a couple of stops, I recommend manually focusing on infinity. The auto focus can get confused on the pretty much blank sky and you end up with a fuzzy moon that you don't notice until you see it on the PC monitor.
