Hi and welcome to the group. As an abstract, this works. If you were aiming for the traditional moon with its craters, then it is overexposed. If your camera has spot metering, I suggest using that mode. Normally you would not use a time exposure for a crater shot but something fairly short as there is the chance of motion due to the rotation of the earth. There is a rule of thumb for shooting the moon and when I find it, I'll post it. Try pointing your lens at the north star and do a time exposure if you have not tried this as yet.
Here is a site that advocates the "Sunny 16" rule: http://www.wrotniak.net/photo/moon/index.html
