Camera Inept

I was trying to take some pics of the moon the other night. The moon was huge and the clouds around it looked very neat. This is what I ended up with. Can anyone out there tell me what went wrong. I tried just about every setting I could think of to get the shot just right. These pictures don't look anything like what I was looking at. So.............help!!!!! What can I do to get shots at night etc. Sometimes I get lucky and the odd one will turn out. Remmember now I said I'm not that great with the camera but I will take whatever help I can get. Well have to go, I'm off to the Greenhouse, see if I can't get something accomplished down there.
