I used to do a lot of this, go out at night on a full moon, you can guess the rest, only joking. I used to put a fresh film in my camera, then expose the film with the moon towards one side and high up in the frame. You expose the moon for a bright sunny day about 125/F8 on 100 ASA as the moon is receiving the same amount of sunlight as the earth on a sunny day. If you want a slightly brighter moon and still have detail F5.6 is a good aperture to use. The lens I used is 400mm.
    I've forgotten the exact procedure but you use a fine marking pen to mark the film and the inside of the camera, after winding on to the first frame, then when you find a good subject you reload the film making sure the you wind on the first frame so that the marks on the film and on the camera are in line, its not too critical as the camera winds on the film the same amount each time, you have a good idea where you placed the moon, so you give the subject a fairly wide berth when re-exposing the film.
    By the way, use between eight and twelve frames for your full moon shots, then you can continue shooting pictures as normal.
    The subject is the Co-operative insurance building in Manchester, it used to be floodlit at night, so if I'd been out for a run on the train, I would have a go at photographing it whilst waiting for my train home from Manchester.

You mean this is a double exposure?  My you are tallented!  I love the picture.  The way the buildings are lighted up is interesting too.  Good work!
