The reason for this is that you are relying on the camera to decide the exposure. The camera is averaging everything. You have a large amount that is completely dark, and the subject is brightly lit by the sun. You are going to have to expose for the subject by itself. The good news is that with a digital camera, you can check your exposure immediately after taking it. If it is over or under exposed, you can bring your exposure up or down by increasing or decreasing the shutter speed. This is easiest done in manual mode with manual (fixed) ISO. Alternately, you could use exposure compensation. While you think of the moon as being bright white, a properly exposed image of the moon will be a light shade of gray.It will likely take a few tries before getting things right.</blockquote>
