Very nice picture. Does you camera have the ability to spot meter? If so, you can spot meter off the moon and get a much faster exposure. You'll see the craters in the moon and you can also reduce the iso and handhold the shot.

I think it might... Can you explain to me really quickly what that is? Sound really useful! BTW, those colors didn't exist in the picture until I super-saturated and cranked up the vibrance using Lightroom.
Typically, when metering a picture, the camera uses information from the entire frame to determine the "best" overall exposure. This is often a compromise and may result in dark shadows and blown highlights, all in the same picture. This type of metering is called evaluative. In older cameras, before advanced processing was implemented in cameras, there was a method called center weighted, which tried to expose the center of the frame properly because that was often the subject of the picture, whether it is a person or a mountain.
Spot metering allows the photographer to pick the exact subject in the frame to be properly exposed. Other parts of the picture are often blown out or too dark, but the subject is metered correctly. This is useful for the moon (your moon is blown out) or flowers. In the begonia picture below, I spot metered off of the flower petals. Everything else was dark and underexposed, but the flower was perfect.

The sunflower and the ant were taken by my SX20IS - sunflower at full tele macro mode, the ant at widest lens setting, super macro mode. The other flower was with my E-P2 and 17mm/f2.8 pancake. I have a spare Nikon 50mm lens here but I haven't had the time to pick up a reverse adapter and play with it.
It's the Triangle Art Signature Turntable, which is actually a "bargain" turntable when it comes to TT's of this size and mass from various companies, at $12,500. http://triangleart.net/turntables/signature/

These micro-nikkors have a rear element 6 inches from the mount. I finally got brave and used a stirring stick with water and tissue to clean it. Then another to dry it, mounting the tissue with tape. It's now much more clear.
