Lens recos for EOS 2000D to see the craters on the moon

I was wondering if somebody can tell me what kind of lens to buy that so powerful where I can see craters on the moon

Addiction is a horrible thing.

Haha!  Thank you!

You're right,that looks cool

Thanks, Ron!  I've always had better luck mounting various telescopes directly to cameras over the years.  Long lenses are nice, but a quality built telescope often has superior optics.

You can get a half decent shot with a lens as short as 200mm but as you can see,even at 100% pixel view it's kinda small onscreen.
Other's suggestions of 600mm sounds good.
If you want to blow your mind, borrow a good telescope.When only 1/4 of the moon can fit onscreen it looks spectacular!
