Most of the EXIF data is gone, though -- what settings did you use to get that?
Well, this is one of those times I really wish I could go back and shoot it again...or at least have more time to shoot it...
Here is how I got this shot (with what I would have changed it I could go back):
Canon 5D mkII
Canon 70-200mm f/2.8 L II
Tripod attached to tripod foot of lens
Remote shutter release
Live View to check focus and Meter off of the moon
Raw capture edited and converted to JPEG via Lightroom 3
Focal Length: 200mm (if I would have known this was happening before the day of, I would have rented a very long lens...800mm with a 2x converter would have been SWEET!)
Aperture: f/2.8 (should have used f/8 or f/11 for maximum sharpness/DOF, but at the time I didn't want to have too long of a shutter speed, which wasn't even a real issue...)
Shutter Speed: 0.8 seconds
ISO: 400 (could have easily gone to 800 and been fine, which might have allowed me to stop down and keep the SS where it needed to be...)
I can only hope the next time one of these roles around I'm more prepared!!!
