The only source of artificial light was possibly some minimal light pollution from the city. So you can see it straining there. The lens was wide open, maximum ISO (25600) and I believe a shutter speed of 1/30th of a second.
This was filmed on the 30th of January 2010, to my knowledge this was the brightest full moon of the year. Music by Empire of the Sun - Walking on a Dream (Van She Tech Remix). You can get the track here.
Of course, this is just the beginning, there are cameras that are coming out now, inculding the 1D MK IV, that support ISOs of up to 102400. I'm told this means they can capture images in low light that are far beyond what the human eye can see. Imagine if we could attach Kubrick's "God" lens to one of these cameras?
UPDATE
On March 19th 2011, I was able to get a hold of a 1D MK IV and go out and film some shots under one of the brightest Super Moons in twenty years. You can watch that video here.
It features a focus pull between a woman's face illuminated purely by the moon and the stars behind her. I'm pretty sure this has never been done before:
Untouched Footage.
