It all depends on the composition you chose and what you want to show the viewer. Bullseye moon shots with ground objects in the frame rarely look professional.I understand you are looking at camera settings more than composure at the moment but it's worth thinking about.The moon is lit directly by the sun so it's extremely bright compared to the ground after the sun has set. I've taken shots with the moon where it could easily be confused with the sun.</blockquote>
