Aweshome.
I saw the moon in my telescope, it zoomed it to far and looked like it was all white.

Camera: Canon Powershot A480, Telescope: 114 mm, Celestron Nexstar

How did you get the colorization really awesome? Plus, I heard it's best to image the moon, not when it's full.  ;D But, seeing your images... Nevermind!  :D

Also, my images are kinda glary, I am not sure why... It focuses okay sometimes, sometimes it's glary, but I guess i'll have to deal with it.

I will not lie: I don´t know !  

I simply reduce the brightness of the camera to the point where the image of the moon no longer appeared dim for me and then started to conduct a series of photos. Most came out blurry since I held the camera in hand, but one of them (that in my post) came out just perfect!

If you ask me to get again this result I do not know if it would be possible because I believe that was lucky!

In the day you took these pictures there was some cloud in the sky?

I liked this your image, craters, ridges and seas were very detailed:

Yep, some thin ones though!

Oh, and to get quicker images you put ISO highest possible, and cover your flash whit black tape (I use electrical tape) and put the flash on. It works good.
