The maneuver nodes are your best friend for that. Once you have an encounter, wait until you're at your lowest point in the encounter (Periapsis) and burn retrograde. That will get you into orbit with the moon.

You got to burn retrograde to slow down or you'll shoot right past/through the gravitational pull by going too fast.

In other news, I should have stuck my landing on Duna but got lazy at the end thinking I was slow enough/close enough. Kerbol lived, but redoing it tomorrow. It will happen.
