And just so you know, full moon is just about the worst time there is to get a detailed photo due to almost total lack of shadows on the surface. Give it a week or so and then try again, ought to make some more detail stand out

Tripod or handheld? 1/60sec is alittle slow for a handheld shot at what I'm guessing was 200mm extension.
And looking at it you could probably drop the exposure alittle bit more. Comparing my last one to yours it's several stops brighter than what I shot.
ISO100 vs ISO200 = 1 stop brighter
F9 vs F5.6 = 1.3 stops brighter
1/160 vs 1/60 = 1.3 stops
All up 3.6 times the light gathered
Final little bit then, with tripod make sure the VR is turned off. It can if you are unlucky create a feedback loop while on tripod that defeats the purpose of VR, ie making a steady shot more blurry.
VR is there to trye to minimise shaky hands but while on a tripod things should be rock solid. Whatever little vibration that kicks in when the mirror/shutter trips can trigger the VR into action and blurring your shot.
For tripod work I generally turn VR off and use either a remote trigger or the 2 second delay to remove any movement I've added while tripping the shutter.
