First ever (decent) astro photo from beginer

Hey guys, took a photo of the moon tonight through a skywatcher 6" achromat (purchased off here). After 20 years as a visual observer I'm starting to delve into astrophotography. Let me know what ya think.
Camera was 600D 1/640 sec exposure at ISO400.

when processing it, i did take down the colour saturation slightly, as there was a bit of apochramatic aberration

For a first ever image that is spectacular, as said I wish my first effort of the Moon was half that good, well done
