Hi Jayden. Welcome to IIS! Yep, you are in the right place.
It will really help if you can stabilize your camera (ie on a tripod or propped on something solid and safe from falling).
Setting the countdown timer help as you will not be pressing the shutter = less movement.
Depending on the time of day/night the settings will change to suit the brightness of the moon. Set the dial to M and do some test shots till you get the desired image. Set the focus to manual and keep it there and manually focus the moon.
Here is an example of a Moon image at dawn.

I am sure if i adjusted the setting a bit i could have got a better image but it's a start as i am still learning too
Hope some of this info helps. Keep at it, don't give in. It's a rewarding hobby this one
