In addition to birds I also enjoy the night sky. Recently I turned my Canon SX50 HS away from birds and toward the Moon. Mounted on a tripod, it does a surprisingly respectable job. I find that underexposing by one stop and doing a little processing helps. Usually I convert the photo to black and white and adjust the lighting. The next step is to work with RAW images.
The attached is last night's five day old Moon. 1/80 @ f/6.5, ISO-200, 215mm focal length (1200mm 35mm equivalent)
