Try using the "fast motion" setting if there is one. Any setting that darkens the pictuer and takes the picture extremely quickly is good because a small amount of light is taken in instead of the full glare of the moon.

I can't find my camera at the moment :( AND JUPITER IS OUT!!!

I like. especially the first and third, they stood out as the clearest and most beautiful to me. roughly how much dough are we looking at in equipment to get these kind of pics?

The telescope cost about £230 and the camera cost £70.

I'd say its a bargain at £300, even a 6" is good for seeing stuff.

I saw the ring nebula a few days ago and (with the amount of light pollution where I live (a lot)) I managed to see a smoky ring with a faint gradient into the middle.

You shouldn't expect to see anything like you do in the colour pictures, to get colour pictures you have to have stacking software, and you will never get as sharp as the HST lol.
