Do I need to use VR when I am using a tripod?

For example.. taking a photo of the moon..

Loony 11 rule

Tripod

LiveView

focal length 200mm (Nikkor 55-200 f/3.5-4.5 lens)

 

Do I need to use VR(on) or not use VR(off)?

Thank you.

Best regards,

It is not generally recommended to use VR when using a tripod.
The motor may actually cause more camera shake than there would be without it.

There are exceptions, such as a windy day or during an earthquake.

When using a tripod don’t forget to use either cable or timed release.

Thank you for the information and commentsMr. Mandrake.

Thanks also for the sample photo Mr. aaz148.

Actually I try to take a photo of the moon last month using the ff:

Loony 11 rule

Tripod

LiveView

focal length 200mm (Nikkor 55-200 f/3.5-4.5 lens)

with the VR on

and an IR remote

the outcome of the photo is blurred.

And Sadly I cannot try capturing the moon this season (it is currently rainy season in the phillipines)..

I’ll try to capture a photo by next month..

Thank you.
