If you have a copy of Covington's book, _Astrophotography for the
Amateur_, he has an appendix with exposure tables for a large variety
of objects, including the moon.  I've been using that as my guideline
for a "phases of the moon" series.  And bracket widely; I've been
bracketing two stops on either side.
