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

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!
