Full Moon and Jupiter in one Hit

First time I ever shot a full moon, and first time I ever shot Jupiter.

Some factors though, might have affected the quality...

- Tripod used, no mount, single shot, RAW, Post processed, 1/250 800 ISO
- Early evening shot, not very high yet (taken about 7:30pm)
- Full moon meant Jupiter shot was probably not ideal, was unable to resolve moons except visually (through the viewfinder)

How did I do? Is that what to expect from my equipment at the moment? Any tips on shooting Jupiter or other planets with my equipment?

I am hoping to get a nice, colour camera for planetary imaging one day, right now, the set up I have is more for wide field astrophotography, and tonight was just an irresistible chance to get some shots of the brightest luminaries in the night sky.
