(Moved to f-stop to make it a photographic discussion.)

For non-usual moon photographers, here are some typical exposure settings for
a FULL Moon (where slightly more exposure is needed for non-full phases):

ISO: 200
Aperture: f/8
Exposure time: 1/250sec to 1/400sec

Tripod: Not needed if you have good lens stabilisation and can brace yourself against something.

Focal length to use: as long as you can for detail. 400-600mm is useful.
That yields an image about 1/5 to 1/4 of an APSC frame.

What PP?: A full moon has no shadows from craters and mountains except at the very edges.
You'll try to record the difference in tones between the brighter lunar mountains and the darker
lunar "seas". You may need to enhance contrast in PP.

If you want to record an "observation" rather than a "snapshot", make sure your camera's date and
time are right, and add where it was taken from.
