Mount Faber by night

I always wanted to capture a nice photo of the full moon as well as lightning. Well, to capture the moon, you need a day where the skies are clear, a good telephoto lens and a night where the moon is full.

The sky was very clear, the moon was full, but I feel that the lens I am using is slightly restrictive. I would love to be able to zoom more. I think to capture a great moon, one needs a 600mm lens. Oh by the way, did I mention that a tripod is a pre-requisite.
