The moon is a bastard to shoot (at least for me, lol)

One of the big things about shooting the Moon is to NOT shoot it when it is full.  You get more detail and can see the craters and stuff when it isn't so bright.
  Here is one I took with my A65 and 55-200mm kit lens...

  That's the cop out way though to me... If you can't take a picture of it full...  I kind of feel sorry for you... I got 99 problems... fuck jay z....
  Anyway... I've taken many a picture of the moon now, some/many of them are handheld.  1/300sec, ISO200-400, F5.6-8... easy handheld.  Obviously a good tripod helps a ton and allows ISO100 to be shot rather easily around 1/60-1/100sec.
  The things I've found is first take 1-2 shots just to get focus.  Even using 10x with live view if you miss it by 1/1000 of turn on the focus ring, it will suck.
  Second, a polarize has helped me a bunch, especially when it is extra extra bright.  I've found shooting it lower in the sky is a little better, but often times beggars can't be choosers so... just take pictures.
  Finally, lots of work in PS and LR.  Sharpening, high pass sharpening, contrast, etc...  Well actually not a lot of PS and LR... but definitely some.  I always find, at least where I'm at, to get a small halo around the moon and unless shooting at anything under ISO200, lots of noise in space which needs removed (well not a lot, but any there always just looks like fuck after processing some, so I just kill it early and not worry about it.

  Took this at Michigan Firehouse museum. It's of a siren on a vintage firetruck.

  I'm thinking it is more personal preference.  I like to be able to see the depth of craters and height of mountains versus the more 2d like image you get from picturing the Moon when it is full with no shadows.

I wish I lived in an area where I can go out and take pics like yours! Living in middle of suburbia doesn't lend to many photo ops! Or maybe it had to do with my laziness...
