Heh. I crack me up. I've got a moonshot from a f/2.8 400mm that i've got to dig up for you. getting good pictures of the moon with slower glass is a pain, what with that pesky atmosphere. that said, you don't need a remote - just use the self-portrait timer's delay. any vibrations from pawing at the camera will damp out in a few seconds. and fiddle with your white balance, it's way blue. i can't say off the top of my head what the right choice would be - i mean, it is sunlight, but it's a little bluer. hooray guess-and-check digital photography!
