The surface of moon is blazingly bright, almost as bright as sand on a sunny beach, especially a full moon. Albedo varies but is highest during a full moon. (Because of shadowing at other phases.)

If you want to take a picture of the moon that does not appear to be a flat white disk, follow the looney f/11 rule. (I have a lot of experience doing this.) If you want to take a picture by moon light, you might try higher ISO, but if the moon is in the frame, it will appear to be washed out.

At 6400 you are going to have a grainy picture.

You will do just as well much lower. The moon is actually quite bright.
