The sunny 16 rule applies only at the moon's full phase. (Since the OP
referenced shooting the full moon before and after the eclipse, yes your
statement is correct.) However, the moon's brightness per unit area is
much
greater at full phase than when it is in its "partial" phases, so again
the
sunny 16 rule applies only at full moon.
Here are some guidelines for film cameras:
At full moon, with ISO 400 film, try 1/500 at f/16. (There's that sunny 16
rule again!)
During the quarter phases, with ISO 400 film, try 1/100 second at f/16.
Exposures for crescent phases will be considerably longer. Yes, bracket.
