You don't need a telephoto lens to capture the moon. If your digicam has a [b]Manual Mode[/b], you can. The quality may not be as good as of the shots taken with a telephoto lens but my point is, you can capture the moon (yes, with craters and all) by using a digicam.
First, your digicam should be set on Manual Mode:
[spoiler][img]http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l1g796IuPw1qa1ieg.jpg[/img][/spoiler]
Why Manual Mode? So you can adjust/cutomize the shutter speed and aperture. Don't always rely on Auto Mode.
[spoiler][img]http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l1g7accfc61qa1ieg.jpg[/img][/spoiler]
These are my usual settings:
[b]shutter speed:[/b] 160 - 250, not so fast (higher value) or the craters might not be evident on the moon's surface
[b]aperture:[/b] F8.0 (but if it's a bit too early, you might lower the value)
[b]ISO:[/b] 80 - 100
Then zoom the focus a little bit. Not too much or you'll end up with a bokeh. )
Now, in cropping your shot. A raw shot usually look like this:

It is small right? So if you want to make it "look bigger"...

And there you have it. Now it's ready for your watermark.
And here are some of my shots and some shots taken by my friends as well:

And a whole lot more in my blog. I'm so happy a lot of my friends actually tried it and had successful outputs. [/spoiler]
That's all. Expect a full moon later! Perfect timing to try this out. ^_^

^ Of course. :}
You just need proper exposure in order to make the moon's craters evident.

I tried checking your link before but I can't seem to find it. Then I saw Harvey endorsing some photoblog. Is this you? http://hellohalcyondays.tumblr.com/ - - - > I'm following this blog already.
