How to get a sharp image of the moon? I tried before taking a few shots of the moon but ended up with a bright spot instead.

Thanks!

what lens you using? get a faster glass should be okay

the horse looks fine to me? maybe more dof?
anyway, what body u using? whatever it is, almost all bodies got 'af focus tracking with lock-on'...set it to the minimum if something is running towards / away from u.

'af focus tracking with lock-on'...set it to the minimum if something is running towards / away from u.

Single Point (Middle) and AF-C
If you use large aperture like f/2.8 then your DOF will be more shallow, so use smaller aperture to get more DOF

If the image Out Of Focus, the fast shutter speed won't make any difference.

Also when you use AF-C mode, there are additional settings in the menu like Release when LOCK-ON (or something like that), which means, it only allow you to capture the image when it's actually LOCKED ON (but this doesn't mean it's 100% accurate, just it won't let you capture if the camera didn't lock on focus).
Another setting is how long delay before it re-focus, by default there is some delay, so it won't refocus when the subject moves. For your scenario, the subject is moving towards you, so you might not want the delay? Try and experiment it yourself, but firstly, using smaller aperture will help. Shooting in broad daylight, you don't need to use the largest aperture available on your lens.

AF-C
and 3D mode is my fav mode of all! 99% usage

Works fine in most situation!
Making focus and recompose so much easier!
