The settings should normally be what works for your gear and targets. IE you need to try and learn the software, test things and work it out. The preset are just suggested starting points to help you get your first image, they are NOT optimal settings by any means. The Moon is a perfect target to spend a weekend testing and learning, its very bright so you'll need fast shutter speeds (low exposure times). Dont go changing more than one setting at a time and see what effect it has on what you expect, take notes, doesnt take long for you to get some starting settings for moon, jupiter, venus etc which you can tweak on the night as changes in target magnitude occur. My aim with new gear or software is to just "get an image" then work from there towards getting a good image then getting the best from the setup. you have to work at refining how you use what you have, its never just "use these settings".
