The only time that you would want to use a flash when shooting the moon is when you to want illuminate something in the foreground, backs of peoples heads looking up at the moon, a tree that is near to you, a street sign etc. A lot of times people will add something like that to give the shot depth, something for the viewer to guage where the moon is.

I forgot to mention that I didn't use flash, and as Andy said spot metering was on the moon itself. I had a little trouble with the focusing, but I got it by having the edge of the moon going through the focusing square, so the camera had some contrast to focus on. Experimentation is the key, this was once of many shots! By the way I also used a Fuji S5000.
Dave.

You can try bracketting the exposure, and using a tripod.
Here's a shot I got last April - Aperture priority,
125th, f6.3, ISO 200, standard white balance, full zoom with a Tcon 1.7 teleconverter.

I capture detail of the moon using 1/60 Sec. at F/6.3, a lot of times. It is all about the tweaking the shutter and aperture.
I shoot in Tv mode so I can tweak the shutter speed. spot meter on the moon, and the camera should pick an aperture that is close.
Start with shutter between 1/30secs and 1/60 secs. with an aperture of F/5.6.
If the moon is still too hot I will go to full manual mode and adjust the shutter/aperture myself. When you get close you can use +/- Exposure compensation to fine tune the detail.
Every night the moon is different, last night I had and Orange moon here and I had to leave the shutter open longer and stop down the aperture a bit.
On a very bright night I will increase the shutter speed. This is 1/160sec., F/5.6 with spot metering on the moon, tripod, no flash.

1/160sec, F/5.6, Spot metered, 50mm |

I have tried to take couple of shots to the moon and I had a lot of advices not to use a flash but to reduce the exposure while using tripod. You may have a look at the shot and all the comments there. I hope you find them helpful. Cheers. http://www.usefilm.com/image/485386.html
