If you look at the histogram of your captured image the mid tones are positioned in the lower part of the graph and there are virtually no whites….

Shifting the exposure by 1.93 stops the mid tones move to the upper half of the graph and whites are more evident, without blowing any of the white detail….

If the whites are going to be burned out they will be seen “climbing” the right hand end of the histogram. (In a way, the absolute darkening of the universe is climbing the left hand end wall of the image).

There is the tiniest evidence of burning out in my example which probably corresponds to the one white spot at 10 o clock on the moon….which is hardly a key detail to be saved.
