Good for you for having a go at imaging, it can be fun and rewarding. The focus looks a little soft in your image but getting better focus will come with experience and maybe using an Bahtinov mask. As far as your set up goes, I wouldn't bother with the moon filter and would use the full aperture of the scope. This would allow more light onto the camera sensor so that you can then increase the frame rate and reduce the gain setting if you are using a capture program like SharpCap. This in turn would help to produce sharper frames for stacking.
The only filter I would recommend using would be an UV / IR filter and by not masking down the aperture you will gain resolution, as in finer detail.
The main thing is to experiment and see what works better for you.
