It's very simple actually...

The luminance of the moon, above the horizon on a clear night calls for a basic exposure @ ISO 100 of 1/250 Sec @ f/8. It is easiest to shoot the moon in Manual Exposure Mode, as you don't have to dial in a ton of exposure compensation for over-exposure caused by auto metering.
I would recommend keeping the shutter speed at least 1/125 or faster to freeze the movement of the moon in the frame. Simply adjust aperture to get the correct exposure. Use of a tripod and cable release is also helpful.
Here is an example shot with my E-M5 and EC-14/Sigma 50-500mm combo. I also used the DTC (Digital Teleconverter) on this shot -- so this is framed exactly as it came out of my camera.

The Fujifilm X-T5 is the company's latest classically-styled APS-C mirrorless camera. It gains the 40MP sensor and AF system from the X-H2 but in a body with a more stills-focused slant. We've been putting it through its paces.
We're Noct messing around with this review.
Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom impress in a lot of ways, but their noise reduction lags the competition and their lens corrections lack a real-world basis. DxO PureRAW 3 aims to come to their rescue without totally reinventing your workflow!
