Some Videos on how to photograph the moon

[Major Nikon]

1. I didn't get through all of it, but there's a couple of things I would add

The two hardest parts are focus and exposure. Everything else is just framing and composition.

If your camera has the capability of live mode (most newer DSLRs do), use that. This will generally give you a more accurate focus and will take care of half of your biggest problem pretty easily. Just make sure the focus square is on the moon.

As far as exposure goes, the best way to properly expose the moon is my looking at your histogram while in manual exposure mode. Start out with the lowest ISO your camera supports and a manual exposure of 1/200 and f/8. If the peak on your histogram is falling off the right side, adjust your shutter speed to a faster setting. If the peak is left of the middle, adjust your ISO to get it between the middle and right side, without falling off the right side.
