The Moon is the nearest celestial body, so it's also the biggest and the richest in details. Depending on the focal lenght it is possible to take images of the full surface (although it's better use the mosaic technique), or medium definition landscapes or high definition with the focal at maximum.
Imaging lunar phases, it was used a focal lenght of 1000mm (the 200mm newton at direct focus), which allows to image a field of 12'x9' (Moon's diameter is about 30'). So it's necessary to take 5-20 images to be sure to cover the entire surface and subsequently do a long work of mosaic and retouch to equalize brightness and contrast and remove the joints between the single images.
To obtain the high resolution images, one needs atmospheric stability (good seeing) to catch the most of details.
