take multiple shots as you will be shooting through atmosphere and you will get atmospheric distortion, so the more that you take, the more chance of having a few clean shots.
High ISO is not necessary. The moon is bright and you will be able to get a low ISO and fairly high shutter speed.
wait until the moon is higher up in the sky, that way there is less atmosphere to shoot through as well.

I would add:
Get as much focal length as you can. If you've got a 1.4x or 2.0x TC, use it. You can manual focus. Use mirror lockup and a remote release. Start at -1EV and play around with the exposure so that you can maximize contrast and resolution.
If you don't have a tripod, raise the ISO 800 in order to get the shutter speed up for hand holding.
