Moon

Ok, obviously, I have no idea how you guys get those gorgeous moon shots. You know, the ones where there's the moon, a dark beautiful sky, maybe some twinkling stars, or some pretty motion-blurred clouds? I was able to get, the moon, the stars, and the clouds...just not all in one picture. I am willing to stand in my own backyard with my tripod and the equipment I already own but other than that, has anyone got any tips?
