I'd suggest spot/center-weighted metering, focus on the lunar edge, perhaps go up in ISO to shoot quicker. As for 'angular size', yes 300mm is going to have a lot of 'frame', but with 24mp you will still get a reasonable image... Probably best with some cloud or something to add to the shot. Good luck .. .</p></blockquote><p></p>
