A full Moon is a very bright object. For those who have cameras with adjustable settings (DSLR's, etc.) I suggest starting out at ISO 200, manual focus, and exposure times of 1/500th of a second to 1/1500th s.

I have a D90, and for Moon pics I'll use a 450mm f/6.3 lens. When shooting from my tripod, I'll use the five-second delay for a hands off shot, as that is the most steady the camera can get.
