Big aperture, short shutter speed.The Moon is a moving target. This is key. Long-ish shutter speeds ( > 1/30th second) will have blur.
400-800 will typically result in not much detail. Plan for 100-200, if your equipment allows. 400 can be fine, if your lens can do F4 to F5.6. My preference is 100 F8, and to bracket up/down two stops from there. But, do NOT go beyond 1/30 shutter speed, because you WILL have blur.
Focus is also an issue. It's difficult to focus on a dim object such as the eclipsed Moon. My advice is to set the focus on a VERY distant object before the eclipse, so you're at least in the ballpark.
