For lunar sketching I prefer pastel chalk on black paper; it gives a very natural look. Black ink and graphite is my second choice for white paper.

White charcoal is great for globulars that resolve into stars, but I think conte is better for everything else, including the moon. I prefer using graphite and black ink for fuzzies and stars respectively.
