Processing the Moon

A couple nights back I was playing around with my 60D. Moon was out so thought I should snap some shots. Used my 70-200mm f4L IS lens. Shot at f4, 1/400 exposure, handheld. This is a 100% crop of the original (went for that arty off centre look).

First shot is unprocessed and straight out of the camera (apart from it being a 100% crop). Second shot was processed in Gimp.

Have I pushed it too far? Noticing that darkening/brightening of the lunar limb. Also the sky seems to get noisy when adding contrast and adjusting the levels even though this was shot at ISO 100.
