First Attempt at a Moon Night Shot

[JeffinDEN]

Guess my rebel sucks if it allows "CA" in

CA isn't something that gets 'let in'. There is something causing it.....

Do some research, and you will figure it out. I could tell you, but you would blow it off and not learn a thing.

The moon part showing is obviously blown out, so...

Does your Rebel have a histogram feature on the LCD playback?
If it does, use the histogram to check exposure.
Keep re-shooting until it shows no over-exposure.
That's how I do my moon shots.

Burns, you using the 75-300mm lens?

Yeah, it was pretty small otherwise last night

Yeah, the 75-300 is rank when it comes to chromatic abherrations. I usually just select the area that's affected then play with color saturations until it doesn't look like poo. That being said, once I get a job, I made a deal with my parents so I'm gonna be able to pick up the Sigma 50-500 here soon.
