I didn't say it would be easy.

Not only would capturing the earthshine without motion blur be a challenge, but I might have to contend with light bleeding over from the overexposed sunlit side.

Not as sharp as I'd hoped. Maybe its me and not the lens

Those 500mm mirrors can be a tricky beast to nail focus. Are you using a tripod and timer?

Tripod, remote shutter release, 12 second selfie delay.
I did see when testing the lens if you just breathe it shakes the image on a good heavy tripod

Yes, that sounds right. My 55-300mm zoom on my K-5 body has the equivalent focal length as a 450mm lens, so it's also very sensitive to vibrations.

Not quite a Super Moon; the day before if I recall correctly. I just remember it was totally overcast on the night of the Super Moon.

Wow, that's nice. Now I'm going have to fight the urge to start searching for used Bigmas in a K mount.

Lovely shot, perfect balance of the exposure.
