Doug625,
Your photo of the moon is really nice! I’m not sure how you can improve on that. A wise and experienced photographer told me years ago that the moon is illuminated by sunlight so when you photograph the moon, follow the Sunny 16 rule of thumb. In other words, Set if you set your ISO to 400, shoot at f16, 1/400th of a second. Same amount of light hits the sensor at f8, 1/800th of a second or f7.1 at 1/1000th. Experiment and see what works best for you.
With regard to learning the camera, there are tutorials on YouTube to assist you in learning the T7 and photography in general. Check out what Tronhard (Trevor) posted on this thread https://community.usa.canon.com/t5/EOS-DSLR-Mirrorless-Cameras/EOS-Rebel-T7-New-vs-Refurbished/m-p/4...
There a lot of helpful and instructive videos and links out there if you do a Google search on the topic.
good luck!
