f/16 and shutter speed at least 1/15th?
Technically the moon is in direct sunlight, so the Sunny 16 rule "should" apply, though the distance and the eclipse part usually mean a bit more exposure than Sunny 16 calls for.
I thought maybe it was the minimum to help prevent blur, but I found this while looking for interval timing information.

I went out and took a test shot last night...

So your focal length was longer than 300mm since you used a Kenko teleconverter, is that correct? I'm surprised the EXIF doesn't reflect that. I thought it did for Kenko teleconverters although I don't have one by them.
Back on topic...
I forgot to mention I used spot metering to set my exposure and I made no exposure compensation in post. Does it seem a little over-exposed?

You have to have a night of 'good seeing" where, the atmosphere is somewhat stable and no clouds, or fog. We had a lousy night to shoot at the moon. I couldn't get even close to a crisp shot no matter what shutter speed.shots I took were too poor to put up.
Need more practice
Well done the that posted. very interesting
I attached my D850 to my telescope with a special mount, and had to focus manually, which was very difficult outside in the cold.
