I wanna go try and get some shots of the moon, any ISO suggestions?

The minimum possible.

Keep in mind that the moon is a highly reflective object and the parts of it you can see are in full sunlight. When metering, think closer to "Sunny 16" than "Night time photography". Not exactly sunny 16 since there's something like 240,000 miles between hither and thither, but it's still a hell of a lot brighter than most photographers new to it expect.

Well, firstly, what's your focal length? If it's under 200 on a crop, you're pretty screwed. Second, if your camera is any good, any ISO 400 and under should do. Hell, just chimp it with different exposures and see what happens.

Use a telescope or a set of binoculars and try shooting through it if you only want to try it and have them around.

erm, what about exposure times? what's the longest you can safely get before the movement of the moon blurs the picture?

Fix'd? I think...
I cropped with paint the first time, was too lazy to let PS load.
