Took this shot of the moon last night. I figured that I would try an object that I new that I could focus on. Now I know that the camera can be focused.

Nice moon shot.

With respect to focus, your eye will usually get a sharper result on planets than the camera will, even with very short exposure times. the sseing gets in the way of those very small details.
