Another great shot Mark! There's something about lunar shots I can't explain it but I feel like everyone should have at least one in their astro album. Also you only need long focal length for high resolution planetary/lunar imaging. It's a bit like wildlife photography. Take a bird for example. No doubt it's amazing to zoom in and pick up all those intricate feather details, but it's equally amazing to capture the silhouette of the flock as they fly across the sunset. Thus with the two gas giants being so close together at the moment, I think it presents us with some interesting wide field opportunities. Here's a quick example from a planetarium app that can be used as a planning guide. It'll even help you frame up your image if you key in your equipment details.
