The Moon was the fist ever space object i photographed through my telescope.
At the time i did not yet have a telescope mount that compensates for the Earths rotation making the Moon the ideal target. Because the Moon is very bright and close by the time needed to make a picture will be about the same as taking a picture during daytime. The lens (telescope) used has a much bigger aperture than a standard lens on a camera and so captures much more light reducing the time needed. The short time also reduces motion blur created by the rotation of the Earth and Moon.
