Moon
The Moon and the Earth are both moving, so a locked in tripod will blur with too slow of a shutter speed. As Roy (rmeyer7) said, if you are close to a handheld shutter speed with your tripod, you won't notice blur 'cause they are moving so slow.
The Moon is actually pretty bright, and with clear skies it can be photographed hand held. Try ISO 400, f/4 and see what shutter speed you get.

"Every artist, was once an amateur"
I have others taken before the spot exposure was deployed but it is just a white dot in a sea of dark blue sky...
“Amateurs worry about equipment, professionals worry about money, masters worry about light, I just make pictures… ” ~ Vernon Trent
Just playing around Saturday night, I got this with a 70/300 IS at 300mm, ISO 1600, 1/200, f/25, handheld leaning against a railing for support.
A tripod would have been better.
Shoot, learn and share. It will make you a better photographer.
