Need ideas on how to improve a moon picture

I originally posted this on comp.graphics.apps.gimp and someone suggested I post it here as well...

I've recently tried taking pictures of the moon in raw mode with my Nikon Coolpix 8800 and tripod. Here are three successive edits of the same picture:

Original cropped: http://members.cox.net/no.spam.please/moon01_crop.jpg

Levels corrected: http://members.cox.net/no.spam.please/moon02_levels.jpg

Unsharp mask applied: http://members.cox.net/no.spam.please/moon03_unsharp.jpg

Any ideas on how to further improve this would be greatly appreciated.
