I also discovered that on the Tamron 28-300 I had with me, at 300mm, I had to focus slightly nearer than infinity for the sharpest image.
In the end I suspect I will be too embarrased to show anything.

Ummmm..?
Surely the moon is at infinity. I can not even begin to see how you could have a focus problem. Autofocus problem yes, focus no.

Cool.
Better than mine. My pic is well blurry. Could have been the equipment of course ;-) http://www.pbase.com/wendybeard/image/35618348
Most of mine looked like that. Mostly lack of tripod/ballhead capacity for dealing with 600mm of lens. I got lucky with one or two shots.
I discovered that I'm useless when it comes to manual focusing. It was cold out too so the camera was probably shivering :-s
Some of mine may also have focus problems. When the moon was completely in the umbra it was too dim for autofocus *or* manual focus.
