this is what i got

This looks like you had too slow a shutter speed. Most of the detail has been burnt out by too much light, plus either the camera moved, or the moon did!
Don't worry about your camera only being F8, that will do fine, but you'll have to up the shutter speed to compensate. I'd start at 1/400 and then try different shutter speeds around that.
