Pity that I got a huge glare from the moon, but I grabbed it yesterday.

I was shooting afocal (camera attached to a Meade ETX-70 telescope). It was at 1/5th of a second, ISO 1600, and the telescope's aperture is f/5.
A lot of it will have to do with how well your lens picks up glare inside the optics.
