To get moon shot I typically use spot metering , and I end up with a shutter speed of 1/500, f 5.6, ISO 800, 300mm focal length.

The moon is very bright, and tricky to expose properly - this is one of those times I use manual settings.

200mm - 1/250th - f/16 - 400 ISO

I took THIS MOON SHOT a couple of years ago. I only bring it up because I mentioned my settings AND there are some comments further down by Arch on post processing.

 

[dragon12]

thanx for the link. compare your moon to mine, it is quite clear your is better. what program did u you use to get the detail of the crater or what can i do to get more detail?

 

[astrostu]

Gotta disagree with folks here - your shot is clearly out of focus. Sharpening is not going to help bring it back into focus.
