Taking photos

[02476lisa]

I have a digital camera,tonight i tried taking a few pictures of the moon and jupiter,the pictures came out rubbish as you can see

How can i make my pictures better?

looking at your photos exif data...

...you were using an olympus superzoom camera. you were obviously quite zoomed in as your focal length was 21mm, longer focal lengths make it harder to get a sharp shot.

your shutter speed was 1/2 second, very slow, so you wouldn't have been able to handhold a photo at that shutterspeed and that long a focal length and avoid camera shake.

also, your cameras sensitivity was very high for a small sensor compact so the photo came out noisy

does your camera have a manual mode?

do you have a tripod you could use?
