How do you keep the "glow" off the right side of the crescent? I always have a heck of a time with exposure on moon shots.

2. Start with the "sunny 16" rule. |
|
The moon is in direct sunlight and is very bright, ignoring the sea of black around it. The "Sunny 16" rule will set you at f/16 for 1/ISO shutter speed. I find this a little dim and usually end up around ISO 100, 1/180, f/8, bracketing from there.
The great thing about shooting the moon when it is not full is that you get lots of surface detail due to the side lighting.

I think maybe it was the f-stop that was giving me the issue. I'll try something similar to your suggestion next time.

4. ive found that only really works well for a full moon |
|
for these shots i was using f5.6 1/100 sec iso 1000 and a 600mm lens ive found with anything other than a full moon the best result is to spot meter on the lit part. the you can use exposure lock to recompose
