Interested to see. I generally don't think that you gain enough at the lower ISO to offset the potential loss of sharpness due to the slower SS, particularly hand held. I have no qualms about using ISO 800 as a default.

Once you get the basics of astro moon shots down, then the atmosphere is the most likely culprit. After the Blood Moon, the setting moon, near sunrise, looked spectacular, but I had too much smog to get the detail that I like.
