Moon Exposure Calculator

A friend sent this link to me and I find it very useful for figuring settings to do moon photos. You need only enter your camera type and a few details and you are good to go.

Thought I would pass it along.

It seems to work pretty good for me, hope it does the same for you.

Not only does it do the proper exposure, it also shows you the minimum shutter speed for your camera + lens to prevent motion blur of the moon as it speeds by.
