A potentially useful calculator on this site - for both film and digital.

I stumbled upon it and thought there might be some interest.

Spot metering off the moon is always a useful start, assuming your camera has one..

I sincerely apologize. I did not make myself clear (and neither did the web page I linked to).

The calculator is for shooting moonlight photography (i.e. long exposure night pictures), not pictures of the moon itself.
