The only way I know to shoot timelapse being an independent filmmaker is to just record whatever it is you want, and speed it up in post. Or i guess shooting really low frame rates on film, but that'd be pretty hard since you'd somehow have to have a continuous magazine or else you'd have to keep switching the mags. As for the moon, just make sure you have an apt telephoto or it will just look stupid. I've been there...

If your shooting Video you have to set your camera to shoot at intervals... every camera is different, if its a recent Canon, it might have that option.

If your shooting film, you would have to set your self up with your regular exposure, and shoot 1 frame ever... what ever time you want.. 1 minute, second, 2 mins.... what ever you want the duration to be.

Just remember 24 frames= 1 second... so yea..

Time laps would be really crudy if you would have to do it by hand. but if you must you must. The best way is to have a extended control which is not directly connected to the camera. If it is, every frame will move, and be different from one another... THUS its better not to touch the camera..

What camera are you shooting with?
Maybe I can help you out better knowing then?
