Never taken a photo of craters on the moon before, I was shocked because you sure cant see them through the viewfinder.
Any advice on how to do this correctly please fire away.

Re: First Moon Shots
I've never tried moon shots, but there are many who have made magnificent images.
Can I suggest that you click on 'Discussion Categories' on the menu bar above and. from that, click 'astrophotography'. You'll find quite a number of threads in there that feature moon shots and discussions about how best to do it.

Re: First Moon Shots
With a result like one you have I am not sure you need any advise. But I do have a question - why did you chose f14? The moon is a moving object and at such a distance depth of field not a factor so I would tend towards a wider aperture, a higher shutter speed and maybe ISO200.
