We have cloud atm so it's a no go for me.
Are you using a tripod?

Go fully manual and keep the speed below 1/180 f8 .. bump the iso a bit if needbe.

I couldn't do any more with the raw file, infact it looked worse than starting with your jpeg Amin so I left that alone now.
Tonights moon should just be about perfect for a shot if it stays clear so I may break out the tripod tonight and have a proper go with multiple teleconverters.

It has a decent weight limit of 8k and is built like a rock.
I liked it so much I bought the company .. well no actually, but I did buy their monopod which is of similar build.
