Thanks for posting this! I recently picked up the D90 w/kit lens, 70-300mm, and 50mm prime. I've been playing around with the 70-300 trying to get moon shots but it's mostly been trial and error. A few more days and it should be full. I'll try your recommendations (with a tripod, though ).

If you watch closely the moon is constantly moving through the sky....slowly but surely. If you have a good telephoto lens you can see it moving across the camera screen. I tried to get some shots the other day but by the time I started it was almost at the horizon, so it fell behind a treeline.
