As it happens, I was curious about your 500/8 Seimar, so I already
checked out your moon shots with it in PS when you posted
it.http://www.moosemystic.net/Gallery/Others/Peden/SeiVivMoon2.htm
The immediate problems are lack of contrast and that the image is almost
all in the lower half of the histogram. The roll-over shows the result
of some combination of Levels, Curves and LCE to spread the image out in
the histogram, adjust tonal distribution and add both global contrast
and local contrast.
The next issue is sharpness. The click-over shows the result of
sharpening, and perhaps some LCE, I don't recall the details. Each
different image needs to be done differently in any case. The result is
perhaps a bit over the top for presentation, but I was interested in
seeing how much actual detail the lens captured.

Do you recall the 'Bay auction I sent you for a neutral filter for the
Sigma?
