So what the heck -- I decided to try to get a pic of it. I've tried it before but have never really been happy with the results.

    Great shot! You really captured the details of the moon! What did you use to shoot this?

    I have not had luck with moon photos. I've gotten close, but nothing this sharp.

    Aside from f/4, what was your ISO and shutter-speed?

    The lens was f/4 max aperture, but this image was taken at f/5.6, 1/1600 at ISO 200.

    Pretty serious glass. :D Have never used one that large.
    I get my good moon shots using a refractor telescope, sometimes a reflector, often using the projection method as it seems to work best for me.
