Looks pretty darn good to me. I'd be happy with that one if it was one of mine.

That's a great image! I don't think you could do much better.

Specs are ISO 100, f8, 1/30 using the Walimex at 1300mm

Taken in RAW and the only PP was a bit of sharpening

Wow, that's amazing! Count yourself lucky there wasn't too much turbulence in the atmosphere between you and the moon! I've got a few I took in the UK with a Sigma 120-300 F2.8EX and a 10D.

Had the lens on a tripod and the camera on a stand as the setup is too heavy for my tripod. Used mirror lock too with at least two seconds between lock up and taking the piccy, make sure everything is steady. It paid off then. :-)

Will have another go tonight so will take a pic of the setup too hahahaha. Will also add a 2x convertor and see what i can get. There are some good details around the right side of the moon now.
