Tonight there is going to be a good chance of clear skies down my way. Nikon d5100 my lens is max 200 and I am hoping to get a good shot in any event. What settings would you use? Raw format, manual, iso200?
Thanks in advance and fingers crossed for some cloud free shots.

I took this picture a couple of months ago, using a 300mm lens, my settings were

Iso at 100
Speed at1/320 and f5.6, using raw format, camera set on aperture, if you use auto on the camera it will set the iso to high.
be careful as with a low iso you will need a steady hand, try at 400 or 800 iso

This was disappointing as I was hoping to get the moon sinking into the ocean behind the islands (my view) but at that point it was totally obscured by clouds.
The shot pictured was a test shot while I was setting up! Not happy with second prize.
This was is brown/yellow because of slight cloud interference and slightly underexposed - another test.

My first thought was "the moon is upside down". Then I realized it was because you were hanging upside down off the bottom of the earth when you took the pic. :) Funny what a few thousand miles will do to your perspective.
