2. Start with the "sunny 16" rule.

The moon is in direct sunlight and is very bright, ignoring the sea of black around it. The "Sunny 16" rule will set you at f/16 for 1/ISO shutter speed. I find this a little dim and usually end up around ISO 100, 1/180, f/8, bracketing from there.

The great thing about shooting the moon when it is not full is that you get lots of surface detail due to the side lighting.
