The wideangle lens of your drone makes it about the worst possible camera to shoot the moon.
It's just going to look like a tiny spot in the sky.
If you want to photograph the moon, stay on the ground and use a proper camera and a good telephoto lens.

Unfortunately, I didn't even try to take pictures but was able to stay awake long enough to observe that phenomenon.  Paying for lack of sleep to day.

I woke up very disappointed that I had missed it.  Just had a small glass of wine, sat in a comfortable chair
and zzzZZZ . . .  As others, had good intentions

No problem, has happened to me before also.  Those comfy chairs can lull you into sleep so easily.
