Light pollution is aproblem, but more so is moisture in the atmosphere, specially when the moon is quite low in the sky. Half moon shots always give better shots I think, due to shadows in the craters giving more depth to the picture. Of cours to get a half moon shot during an eclipse would mean being about 120,000 miles out in space, a nice trick if you can pull it off

A slight focus issue which I am sure was atmospherics as the moon was a lttle too low in the sky.

I have the Tamron 500mm "mirror" which I got off eBay for about £65 and for the money it's great. It has limitations for sure but for me it was the only affordable large telephoto. It came with the Tamron 2x converter which makes it very long indeed! Very decent pictures for almost no money.

Before you can frame 'em you have to set 'em up!

With a 2x f8 becomes f16 and the depth of field is halved approx, the amount varies with the focal length.

The kit 18-55 is as fast as your Sigma 10-20 and I know you love that.

"For those that might remember, on Giiligan's Island I recall they made batteries out of coconuts. I wonder if they were Pentax branded..."

How did they recharge them?

Film may be a long way from becoming unavailable, but the cost of purchase and processing will rise and rise until it becomes too expensive for most of us. You can have anything if you can afford it!
