Sturdy tripod, eshutter, focus peaking in live view if you have it, always allow oscillations to settle, stop down a little to get the best optics, use cable or e-release, set ISO as high as needed to allow a faster shutter, and position tongue just so.

I’m just hand holding my moon shots. I have my camera set at my starting BIF settings: 1/2500 sec, f8, auto ISO. I don’t get any blur with that shutter speed. The big trick is to set your meter to Spot instead of Matrix. Otherwise it will try to expose for a dark sky instead of a very bright moon.

I use a tripod and manual so that I don't have to go for a crazy high ISO, which introduces a noise issue and DR is reduced. But even with a tripod, the sky is still moving, so with crop sensor/300-450mm @ 100-400 ISO, the shutter can be as slow as 1/250 and it's still sharp. Gives more to work with on the RAW file. On the other hand, your Moon images look great, so I guess it's just a theory, lol
