thank you. It's not that hard tho. Just use manual setting. I used 1/400 shutterspeed with 100 ISO on a 200mm lens (for those shots I do want a clean shot without grain, so don't forget to set ISO on 100 or 200, the higher the ISO the less light you need to have, but also the more grain you're gonna get). Remember to play a bit with those settings. Also you need a longer shutterspeed when its a quater moon then when its full moon (full moon = more light in the lens). So for every moon it's somewhat different what kind of settings to use.

And the one big thing you need is a good tripod (I got one for my birthday recently, cause my old one sucked). You don't want any vibration in your shot, or the picture will result in an useless blury mess. Personally is prefer a timer shot with 5 or 10 seconds delay, or I use my remote, but if you don't have any, use a timer shot.

I hope that helps you. Good luck with it!
