:To show up as more than a tiny spot, you need a really long lens. 600 is

For full moon, yes; for any other phase, exposures vary as I learned from
Michael Covington's book. See http://www.convingtoninnovations.com/
2000mm will fill a 35mm frame top to bottom.
:This could also be a good opportunity to take photos by moonlight. This is
:obviously a long exposure, but the quality of light is very different than
:during the day.
I guess this would depend on film and processing. Mike Stoez, for example,
took a moonlit photo for ADITL2
(http://www.whitneygallery.com/Olympus2/html/aditl2_27.html>
but there's a color shift. That was exposed for ~5mins on
Superia200@f/1.4. I exposed for ~7.25min on Superia400@f/4 with no color
shift (http://student.ucr.edu/~siddim01/LOONYF4.JPG). See
http://student.ucr.edu/~siddim01/experiments.html for details.
Anyhow, I do plan to do another loony shot if I've bought another camera
body by then....
