Cool… now that you got so far, Richard, just
hope you get a full Moon in the next days!
Next full Moon is 4th November, Daniel....................
Edited for another thought - full moon isn't the best time to photograph the Moon. It's like taking a landscape photo at mid day. The best time is around a quarter when the Moon is side lit and you see all the detail in the craters along the terminator (egde of lit and unlit), as you#re starting to show in your image, Richard.

This is one with a Cloud twist (7th October) looks like a BORG ship coming to Invade.

As a starting point, set the camera's meter to spot metering and use the suggested settings. Have a look at the results and either switch to manual and keep those settings or open/close the aperture to suit your tastes. Since the Moon is sunlit and relatively bright, you should be able to use a fairly low ISO (200-400 should do it) to get a high enough shutter speed to avoid camera shake if handholding, especially if you're using a stabilised lens. If camera shake is creeping in, up the SS and if necessary the ISO. The below was shot at 200 ISO, 1/180s, f/5.6 using a 400mm lens on a crop body. (Click on the image to see it a bit bigger - thumbnail embedded so as not to hijack Richard's thread.)
