Good job indeed.  I shot this moon 3 years ago... it looks like it's been evolving or revolving  5D & 30D| Canon 16-35ii f/2.8 L USM| Canon EF 50mm f/1.4 USM | Canon 70-200mm f/2.8L USM | Canon EF 100 f/ 2.8 Macro USM

Took some full moon shots myself this evening, but I often find that shooting when the moon is less than full adds some interesting shadows and details along the terminator. At the beginning of time there was absolutely nothing. And then it exploded! Terry Pratchett

I think you chose the right settings . I'm terrible at manual focus. Through the viewfinder it looks good to me, but then later on when I get to the pc it ends up not being in focus. And tips on focusing better?

so like Steve says make sure the viewfinder is set correctly and when i take a new shot i zoom in as much as possible and check the crator edges to see if focus is good or bad . Even then i will tweak the focus knob on my scope to see if i can get a better focus but even then til i download to my computer i can't tell perfect focus
