You must be able to spot meter on the moon, if the camera only gives you a general metering over the whole subject area it will always just come out as an underexposed blob - also you have to remember that your brain tricks you into seeing the moon much larger than it really is because a full moon on a clear sky is so much the focus - the camera actually tells it like it is. The one I posted from last month's full moon
full moon was taken with a 600mm lens (actually a 200mm plus 2x convertor with a 1.5 crop factor because of the digital camera), on a tripod shot at f 5.0 1/250 seconds.
Good Luck
