That is excellent - no matter what I do, I can't seem to get a half decent image of the moon - but I only have a 500mm, not 840!

I think also that light pollution plays its part, I guess it is pretty dark where you are.

Not really dark here these days as we are surrounded by new housing developments/access roads. We have a street light just outside our front door ( see my Jupiter Ascending photo) 

I think the key is to get it as soon as it rises. It always seems bigger and clearer just above the horizon this time of the year despite shooting through across earth atmospherics.
