in reference to number six, anyone who has taken pictures of astronomy will tell you that you'll need to hold down the shutter for a good five seconds to get shots of stars. combine that with the fact that the moon surface is bright, even on the moon, which will make you close your aperture more to take a decent shot, will eliminate the possibility of stars showing up on your picture.
