The moon moves at about .004167 degrees per second, slower than most slugs. If you shot the moon at 1/60 of a second, the total angular movement as seen in the frame would be .00006944 degrees, which should give the appearance of being stationary. I routinely shoot the moon at about 1/60 second per frame with my Pocket Cinema Camera. Attached is a crop from a frame from one of these 24p sequences.


From the stationary camera's perspective using a telephoto lens it is clipping right along, the movement is easily seen in the viewfinder or LCD. I would think 1/60 is not going to get super sharp images on a still camera thru a telephoto lens.

What's worse than angular displacement is atmospheric conditions, which can make the image distort as if shooting through a bad lens. This is why all the current, famous observatories are atop mountains, and why shooting a laser to determine the air disturbance removal algorithm allows ground based observing to essentially match the Hubble.
