I just would like to had:
Apart from a sturdy tripod, use the TIMER.
Probably does not seems obvious, but its a great way to reduce camera shake from pressing the button and at 1/4 shutter speeed that small time you shake the camera to gently press the button turns out to be a lot. Set the timer, press the shutter and then dont even breathe near the camera :)
Mostly the timers are 10 seconds but some cameras like HP850 (I think) have a 2 seconds timer or maybe (even better) you can use a remote control like most Canons. You can find out by looking it up on your manual.
Hope it helps, I will be posting a couple of moon shots soon also. |

From the Critique Club
This shot seems to be exposed nicely but suffers from a lack of focus. I'm not sure how to help out much with that issue with your camera. The only things I can really do here are offer the suggestions that I've found useful in low light shooting environments and hope it applies to this one.
First and MOST IMPORTANT: use a tripod. You did not put that detail in your coments. In a low light environment, you have to deal in some way with camera shake. Easiest and most effective: Tripod!!! I see that you used a 6x extender. This will bring the image 6 times closer and also make any camera shake 6 times worse!
Next thing I can point out: take LOTS of shots. I am not familiar with your camera but I don't believe it has manual focus. With my camera (no manual focus either) I have to take MANY shots to make sure that I get the focus where I want it.
Lastly: don't get discouraged. Keep trying. Just because it didn't work tonight don't mean it won't work tomorrow!
Hope this helps. If you do take my advice and keep shooting, please post your best shots.

| Would be nice if it were a bit sharper... I know how hard it is to get a good shot of our interplanetary neighbor... :) |

| I wish it were in focus, but the composition is very effective with the moon in the upper left. |

| This is almost a great moon shot. It is a little blurry, but as someone who has been trying to get a good one also, I know how hard it can be (still haven't done it). The positioning is nice. Not the same "middle of the photograph" composition. |

Technical: fits the challenge. Exposure lighting composition all good, focus is soft.
Personal: Not compelling or imaginitive enough for me.
My vote: 3

| You need a tripod for long distant shots. The further the subject the more movement will affect your photo. |

Use a tripod anf focus manually if possible.
The moon is difficult to capture. |
