Being too bright is not the problem, bright is good; your 16" will easily show
the moons as discs, given enough magnification. I'm guessing that you don't
have a suitable high power eyepiece. The 10mm that comes with many scopes
is not enough; you need one around 6 or 7mm giving 300x and 257x respectively. You could also have
4mm [450x] for when the seeing is really good.
