Good luck.
You will need long focal length lens (200 mm a bit short so longer if poss.) Sharper the better.
The moon is quite bright so normal sort of daylight photo settings (depends how full or new the moon is) You won't need long exposures.
If camera is left to auto expose it will most likely get it wrong as most of the image is black.
Tripod is useful but I have taken pics without.
As you say, take a few and have look - then adjust.
Don't get too cold
