For a normal moon that is true, but just the other day there was a lunar eclipse and i almost couldn’t see it by naked eye! It was also moving quite fast in the sky, so i had to compromise with a 1s exposure at 3200 ISO. Earth’s shadow was also slowly moving away so each minute the contrast between the lightened and darkened parts of the moon was increasing. I used a 300mm, the longest i got. There was also a lot of light pollution, i think that’s why the sky appears so bright in the image, while in reality it was quite dark.
