"Blood Moon" - Sony a6400 + Sony G 70-350

Ahh, Australia, that explains why the moon is upside down :). Taking photos of the eclipse really pushes the limits of equipment because it’s so dark.

My suggestion is if you have multiple shots is to stack them for improved noise reduction. Search for Nebula Photos eclipse on Facebook for a great guide, he uses PIPP and autostakkert (both free) then he adjusts the colors in photoshop. He does a lot more adjustments in photoshop as well, but if you have Topaz sharpen that can help. I know you said you had topaz denoise.

I would also say the brightness on the left side of the moon is a bit blown out trying to increase the brightness of the whole moon, and I know you said you were trying to brighten it but I would suggest actually reducing it a fair bit, it will be darker, but will also reduce the noise you see, and be closer to what you actually see in the sky. I think the crop and stars are fine.
