and take the picture when the moon is behind the house.

An old photographer's rule of thumb: the image of the Moon on the
negative is 1 mm for each inch of the lens' focal length. For the
traditional 35mm camera with a 2" (~50mm) focal length lens, the Moon
is about 2mm wide.

A 35mm frame is 24mm wide, so you want something around 20 inches /
500mm to nearly fill the frame. Coincidentally, that's about the focal
length where a mirror lens (basically a refined Newtonian reflecting
telescope) becomes a reasonable alternative to traditional lenses.
