All I have read suggests that the moon will always be bigger than the FOV on a webcam

Seems a shame as i would love to get a Full Moon Shot
This wasn't done with a webcam, but the Atik 16ic has only a few more pixels. The moon is bright enough that the lesser sensitivity of the webcam isn't an issue.

As noted it took about 180 frames to get the whole moon. That gave good overlap so I could maximise the stacking in AutoPano Pro (it's not cheap but is excellent). I'll try repeating it with my webcam if this weather clears.
