So Monday is the next full moon. Hopefully my ir remote and tripod part comes in by then. With my current lenses, what settings would yall suggest?

All I see in your signature is a 35mm and 18-55mm, neither of which would catch any amazing detail. The profile shows a 200mm reach lens, so do you mean that one, or something longer?
As far as settings, one of the sharpest moon shots I've managed to date was at 300mm, 1/250 shutter, f5.6 aperture (at that distance/DOF, no need to go with a tighter aperture), and ISO 200. Fairly typical settings, but I was handheld with VR on. If using a tripod, definitely remote or timer with VR off.
The profile pic is from my cellphone....the only two lenses I have now are the 35mm and 18-55. A buddy of mine has an old Nikon....he might have a lens than can zoom a bit more. I'll ask and see what he's got
