The moon is relatively easy since it's in normal "daylight" and takes a normal exposure. It suggests some sort of tripod although handheld is possible. This exposure of 1/50 f/5.9 iso=80 is relatively simple, but fl=630mm is a little delicate and favored using a tripod.

Karen's right. Moonlight is reflected sunlight. Spot metering with my (ancient) D200 and Nikon 80-200 D 2.8 resulted in overexposing the moon. Still have to compensate by less exposure.
The moon shot was taken recently, but the landscape(moonscape) was a long time ago. The landscape shot below was taken at night with a full moon. Shutter speed was between 4 and 5 minutes, aperture was probably f4, FILM was probably Fuji Reala 100.

I'm still learning, but did you really mean 4 or 5 minutes?

I under expose the exposure, seems to work for me, but then again, I'm not a pro. Just a few shots from 01/30 and 31. I used Canon EOS 1DX with a Canon 100mm to 400mm with a 2X extender on a tripod. First two were hand held.

The moon is lit by the sun and is like full daylight shooting. Start with the Sunny 16 Rule. An exception would be a full moon seen at dusk or dawn. Then metering would be a place to start and you could hope to get decent exposure for vegetation or buildings.
