This is my first attempt at the moon with the new Sigma 150-500 OS. Straight from camera except for resizing and noise reduction. Advice or comments on ways to improve is welcome as always...

#2 is fine, that's about all that can be done with it.

They're very good. I like daytime moon shots but they never have as much contrast as the nighttime ones.
If you have the RAW file, you can probably get more out of #2 by selecting the darkest point and inverting the selection so that you get all of the moon and not much sky and then mess with curves and levels. If you only have the jpeg, it doesn't work as well as it's already got sharpening artifacts applied.
It's in focus and doesn't have any movement blur which are the two most common problems. Well done.
