1. Get the most powerful zoom you can get your hands on, for me, that's my $300 70-300mm lens
2. Shoot full manual
3. 100 ISO, (The moon is plenty bright)
4. Don't let your camera meter the shot, control the exposure yourself
5. Shoot Raw for maximum detail for editing
6. Don't shoot when the moon is near the horizon because you'll be shooting through a lot of air, which can add distortion, especially wavy air from convection currents, or pollution.
7. If possible go up high on a mountain on a clear night, wait till the moon is high above.
I didn't even use a tripod, the moon is bright enough on a night like tonight for handheld.
