I'm aware of the feature of shutter priority, but is there a tele that needs to be added? My question is how to capture moon to so close vicinity?

You need to have something like 15x optical zoom in your P&S, or in a DSLR you need a telephoto lens in the range of about 400mm. To capture the moon, you don't need to expose for long. A hand held shot with a faster shutter speed like 1/500 can also capture a bright moon.

I have canon SX20IS with 20x optical zoom which can extend till 80x digitally.

The first was taken using a a tripod at an exposure of 15 seconds(max supported by my camera) in Manual mode.

The 2nd pic i.e. the moon one was taken hand held in Auto mode.

Here are 2 more moons shots taken on a full moon.

@Technocrat : Great shot! Unbelievable that you used a P&S to achieve that result! Sadly I only have a 3X optical zoom :P

@harmon bro : Great drama in that shot! What camera you used for the shot?

OT : I'm becoming increasingly tired of P&S's. I'm thus contemplating a big beercan. Have my eyes set on the EOS 450D. Will have to ask Rudra Sir for advice.

OT:
There are Sports Cars and then there are Souped up cars that want to be a Sports Car!

Now they may come close to matching a Sports Car at times, but at the end of the day a Sports Car is a Sports car!

I guess you get the point!

Praful, second you on that buddy.
At the end of the day, a DSLR is the grand dad of the P&S.

But Rudra Sir is not that familiar with entry level models. Most Canon guys here will be able to help you out. Check the dSLR thread under gadget section.
