Taken much later and I think its better

[Ralph]

Moon from last night at 11.25pm, F/9, 1/1600 and ISO of 1250. I think it works well.
If there are questions on why these setting all I can say is because they worked on this shot.
I'm not technical by any stretch so if it works I use it.
I hope this doesn't come off as big headed but its the only answer I can give.
Think I should put down what I used which is the Sony A7ii with the inbuilt zoom to its full limit and the Sigma 100/400mm lens.

You're totally right: the settings that work for your camera & lens don't directly translate to mine (APSC, smaller zoom) and "whatever works for you" is the right answer when someone asks "what are the recommended settings."

Thanks for your understanding on this matter FowlersFreeTime.
