A topic I hosted last year has many tips:

However, as I pointed out about timing, shooting at sunset (when the sky is not yet black) and including scenery is far different from exposing just for the moon.
Here's the one that got me hooked. Old, poor quality, but very fine memories

The sky will be totally dark tonight when it comes up; better to have shot it last night or the night before...
Thanks?đ

OP intends to include the horizon. Moon may be dark orange if air is polluted. He may wish to include some landscape, requiring different settings than for moon only.
See the link I provided earlier for in-depth discussion for other points of view, including why sunny 16 is the wrong way to think when shooting the moon

This is a quote:
What is the Looney 11 Rule?
In moon photography, there is a ârule of thumbâ that is easy to memorize and should get you close to a good exposure of the face of the moon â the âlooney 11 rule.â
The Rule: Set aperture to f/11 and shutter speed to the reciprocal of the exposure.
For example: f/11 at ISO 100 and 1/100th second shutter speed.
Another example: f/11 at ISO 200 and 1/200 second shutter speed.
The looney 11 rule is worth keeping in mind for getting good exposures when you photograph the moon.

Allowing for the possibility that there may be some distortion of the image on the horizon, I am not sure that the movement is any faster.

Sorry, the illusion then? If you are trying to capture the moon before it fully clears the horizon (or disappears at moonset), you don't have long to dilly dally. I can easily see movement as I'm looking in the viewfinder. I guess it's the earth's rotation, not the moon's orbit that is the culprit anyway Allowing for the possibility that there may be some distortion of the image on the horizon, I am not sure that the movement is any faster.
Another oldie with Canon SX50 bridge camera: moonset a bit after sunrise.

If you're talking to me, I've been trying to leave but the force field keeps dragging me back in Where have you been? I've been worried about you.

I am interested in getting photo of moon rising when it isnât that bright rather than high and bright.

Actually, the moon moves at the same speed constantly, given a slight difference at apogee and perigee. 30 to 45 degrees above the horizon works well. f5.6, 1/125 sec., and ISO 100 with a 400mm works well for me. The 500mm will obviously get closer, but may have slightly more blur. Hope this helps.

Linda, a great shot; it's definitely tough to break away from a good forum but lurking is almost as much fun.
