Wow, we got a patch of clear sky just now - tried the 80-400 VR and couldn't get a good clear image, so swapped to my ancient f8 500mm mirror lens and got this - full moon so lighting is flat - hand held but leant up against the scaffolding so almost steady. Fixed f8 so taken at 1/3200

That’s about the same as I got yesterday. As you say the light from the sun was being diffused so much it produced a flat image with no crater shadows.
i think your image is a good 1.5- 2 stops under exposed. I was taking shots at f9 @1/250 and 800iso last night.
Photographing the moon should be around the same setting you would use if the same sunlight condition was illuminating anything, say a football, here on earth. Last nights exposure was down for me from the previous night which was f9 @ 1/160 and 400iso due to the hazy light.
I’ve just increased your exposure by 2 stops…..
