The moon is a sunlit object. Exposures are the same as daytime exposures. With 100 ASA film it was 125th sec at f11 for the full moon.
The problem with auto cameras is they will try to make the frame 18% grey. As the moon is usually surrounded by black the camera will try to overexpose the image. You need to set the exposure manually.
