Try waiting a few days and get a little past the full moon. Photos will have a lot better depth when you get past the full moon and start to get some shadows. I shoot a lot of moon shots and always use manual focus and shoot 20-30 shots. Several will always be better than the others. Use manual mode and shoot under exposed a little and boost the brightness of the moon by increasing contrast in PS a little. Shoot lowest ISO, F8 and around 1/125s.. Moon is a lot brighter than most people give it credit for.

Neat shot but I think you can do a lot better with the equipment you have.

I've never tried a moon shot so I'm impressed.

I do think it is a little fuzzy though. It would be more dramatic if the edges were a bit sharper.
