Mirrorless is not as good as traditional DSLR for these type of shoots as the EVF gets noisy.
!!! LOL, I had the exact same issue with the D800!
I was struggling to get sharp focus on the moon with the 300 f/2.8 (Ai) on the D800, so I resorted to live view at 100% zoom, the red dots of the blood moon were dancing all over the screen. I had to zoom out a bit to get a firmer image, I think I nailed it eventually.
I took about 450 exposures with the D800 and the 300mm lens, used about 70% of the battery. The D3 took 270 exposures and completely flattened my TWO best, freshly charged batteries. :-(
It was very cold but almost no wind. Probably minus 5ºC?
All the images are now loaded into Lr, let the fun begin.
