Thank you very much @argalf
Even with a standard tripod and a 300mm lens you can make very good pictures of the moon. You just need to keep the exposure time at around 1/100 or 1/250 second.
This looks pretty good @argalf
I think the focus is pretty close, maybe a little bit „unsharp mask“ in image editing will do the trick. As you write in your post, optics with mirror and a big obstruction (secondary mirror) are a little less sharper then lenses. But it could also be caused by turbulences in the atmosphere, they will also make the image looking a little bit blurry. This can be avoided by shooting much pictures and stacking them. The software will then just use the sharpest parts.

I've already started some trials, as you can see here, but there's much room for improvement...
Thanks for your encouragement!

Hopefully the upcoming friday will give a good opportunity to improve my skills! :)
Good luck to anybody reading this comment.
I keep my fingers crossed and wish you good luck and happy photographing :-)
I also hope for some snapshots.
