1.   Choose your time of day wisely. If you can, plan to photograph the moon while it is rising or setting- it will appear larger at these times.

2.   Avoid a full moon. Surprisingly, you will actually be more likely to capture greater surface detail if you wait a few days after the moon is full.

3.   Use a tripod. Because of the accuracy with which you'll need to zoom and focus on such a distant subject, you'll need that guaranteed steadiness on your side.

4.   Avoid overexposure. Otherwise, all you'll be left with is a shot of a bright circle and no detail.
