As far as metering goes, spot metering on the moon would be essential

Remember that the moon itself is a rather dark grey object in full sunshine.
So the Sunny 16 rule applies if you want it in its "natural" color. Two or
three stops up will give you the usual white color; more than that will
wash it out...

Full Moon - f/5.6 - 1/1000 - ASA200 and {bracket}
