Learning curve

So I set myself a challenge of photographing the moon. I saw a few moon blips yesterday and fancied having a go myself today.

Oh my, it is far more difficult than I thought it was going to be with my point and press Lumix... I took loads and loads of pictures on almost every setting my camera has to offer and this was the best of a bad bunch, although better than a blurry white disk in a murky black sky (which is how I started).

Does anyone have any tips on taking a better, sharper photo of the moon?

Thanks in anticipation.
